Every atrium cat session begins with acknowledging that we are coming together on Aboriginal country. Always was. Always will be. ❤️

Visiting @rachael_robb ’s exquisite work today @suttongallerymelbourne was an exercise of awe & humility 🤍
From the catalogue: ‘Collectively her compositions usher a flexible temporality that averts life’s cyclical course of beginnings and ends. The buckling paper, the off-centre border, the errant staple holes, the dog-eared corners, the thumb print: quotidian marks and unconscious gestures convey the passing, or rather continuation, of time through images. For Robb, time is inherently expansive, thus her painting denotes the recurrent, persistent, and amorphous nature of this existence.’

Tear a little hole from a piece of paper - or cut a square hole - look around while looking through - what do you see? What feels good to see?
On the weekend, I participated in the inaugural ‘day of slow’ organised by @_anna_macdonald of @paperback_bookshop and @olivia.meehan_ . Antonia Pont shared her sitting practice; @lifedrawing___ hosted us for a session; Anna took us to the city square for some observational writing practice ‘en plein air’ and Olivia shared the slow looking practice of observing and naming colours in a work of art without looking at the title (this one is Anna Ancher’s Evening sun in the artist’s studio at Markvej, after 1913).
Such a deeply engaging and poetic day, these are the only photographs I took. Too busy slowing down!✨Thoroughly recommend.
