The Only People For Me
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to talk, mad to live, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding.” – Jack Kerouac
Me too.

Project 35 – Projections In Gertrude Street, Fitzroy
If you like you like to discover art while strolling it’s well worth a wander down Gertrude Street, Fitzroy, Melbourne – just go after dark. Here’s a few of the lovely and intriguing video projections gracing pavements, buildings, shop windows and more for the next few weeks as part of the Project 35 exhibition. My kids loved discovering the works as we walked along.
Gertrude Contemporary is very pleased to present Project 35. This extraordinary travelling exhibition features 35 of the world’s most pivotal contemporary video works. Organised by the Independent Curators International (ICI) in New York these works were selected by 35 key curators from countries across the globe including Mami Kataoka (Japan), Raimundas Malasauskas (Lithuania/France) and Hans Ulrich Obrist (Switzerland/UK).

A Made Up Bird
Staying with the bird theme, here’s a quick little one I did a week or two ago. It kind of grew out a scribble so it’s pretty much a made up bird. Got me thinking about Charley Harper and how he would have loved the Fairy Wrens who hang out in the coastal scrub along the seafront near my place.
I have a bunch of small parchment squares, the provenance of which is a story for another day – anyway, the paper is rough like lovely water colour card and takes the ink in such a way that soft or light strokes stay right on the top or the paper surface giving them a finer, more complex look that seems just right for feathers. The smallness of the paper seems to invite the detail. Click to make big.

A pair of red-tailed hawks, Violet and Bobby, have made a nest for Violet’s three eggs on the 12th-floor window ledge outside of the office of the president of New York University. The New York Times brings you live coverage from the top of Bobst Library, where the eggs are expected to hatch in mid-to-late April.

Hunt and Peck
These dear wooden birds found me in the thrift shop. Their cheeky, beaky little faces made them impossible to resist. At the moment they forage on my dining room table amidst the shells I promise myself I won’t bring home from the beach – appears that I can resist anything but temptation. I like to move my bird friends around – my daughter is always the first to notice their avian antics. Click to make bigger.
