Look, I can't say I'm having a whole lot of fun right now – what with the collapse of democracy in my country of birth and its repercussions for the entire world.

But at the peak of the AIDS epidemic, activists had a saying: "In the morning we bury our friends, in the afternoon we protest, and at night we dance." Because joy is freedom. Laughter is freedom.

Doing my best to keep dancing.

Graffiti on a cement wall reads FUN CLUB in black spray paint. Next to the text in green spray paint is a drawing of a human eye, with lines emanating from the top of the eye that are suggestive of a crown. Sparse vines spread across the upper part of the wall.

wakest ⁂

just saw sad news of artist Jim Leftwich passing from a post by @differx. I am not sure if I ever met Jim in person, but have been inspired by his work many times over the years through his involvement with #Xexoxial and his work in #VisualPoetry, #asemic writing.

This is a piece entitled “Zaum Frottage” from `spidertangle _the book_` from 2002 put together by @memexikon (free pdf xexoxial.org/pdf/spidertangle_)

I've always had a complex relationship with this photo. Not so much love/hate, but maybe pull/push? The aesthetics appeal, but the situation frustrates. Heaps of high-end building materials just dumped and rotting, most likely intended for "luxury" apartments (ie overpriced dog boxes) that were never built. Or they were tossed because somebody who could afford to change their mind did so after an order was placed.

Anyway, #eattherich

Greetings, fediverse. So good to be here. I was going to import my IG account, but there's something to be said for a fresh start. We're still going back in time, though.

I've been wandering the marginal spaces of Melbourne's inner north (and sometimes a bit farther afield) for more than a decade, photographing the strange and beautiful things that I encounter. I've always felt that these images slide between documentation and speculation, and indeed this entire project began as a creative practice PhD that poked at the curious dualism between magic and real. Why not both?

Moving over to Pixelfed is giving me the chance to dive deep into my archives, discover hidden gems and make new choices about how I offer this playful proposition to the world. I don't expect that I'll stick to a strictly chronological reconstruction of this ongoing project, but for now I'm enjoying the experience of going back to a starting point and moving forward through time. There's an echo of an origin story in this approach – but that's a tale for another time.

Thanks for being here.
