Inside/Outside – A short film
I started to think about the difference between inside and outside a lot this year. This (very) short film brings some of these thoughts out into the ‘open’.
Surprise
The feline’s eyes were sparkling green.
She looked at him with purpose.
She then turned to the door.
“Do you want to go out?”
“’Course I do,” she growled loudly.
He’d no idea she liked outside.

Beneath the Wheel by Hermann Hesse
Beneath the Wheel by Hermann Hesse
Hesse’s ‘spiritual autobiography’ is both compelling and profound. Filled with beautiful passages documenting the romantic appeal of nature, the book is a studied view of humanity’s place in the world.
Exploring a young person’s (Hans Giebenrath, standing in for Hesse himself) journey through education, ambition, and their inability to fit into society’s rigid structures, the book offers an impassioned and melancholic account of adolescent life on the edges.
Signal Strength
If they move to a different
part of the flat
the signal strength
improves.
The download speeds
get better
and so does the
streaming.
Talking gets easier.
It improves
when they move
away from the
mirror.
Floating
I could make my case
I could float my vote
And hope it doesn’t sink
Or arrive too late in the post
And leave me with
Citizen adrift anxiety
2020 MS Virtual Art Show
Celebrating resilience through art is the message of the 2020 MS Virtual Art Show run by MS.org.au.
I was pleased to contribute two illustrations to the exhibition, which runs online from 13 – 18 October. Lots of beautiful work exploring the idea of resilience.
