‘Not Sleeping, Running’ for VCA grad show Series of 5 inkjet prints, Ashwood. “It’s evening and I’m out (for the first time in a long time). I happen to be here. I have no drive. I’m enjoying my life, but am passive to the flow. I follow this old path and try with scrunched eyes and clenched fists to imagine a new shape. Leave nonsense and confusion behind. Perform your honourable function, move. Tell the crowd you’re capable of all things. Dawn, running home. Over the hill and through the meadow. He loved me, that’s over now.” Love and thanks to Oscar Palmer (@grasseater2013 ) for his fabrication skills. Image courtesy of unimelb

Huddled here in this mansion, I must be the first. Lining up a ruler against the seam, where the front room might cut through Try your hardest to forget how language lands All pain is small In the company of wonder.” 1. ‘Raw Wood, Uncut silk’ 2x inkjet prints, wooden frame.

‘Asleep on the footpath (just near Tinning St)’, … WAS for sale in the @cathedralcabinet fundraiser but now safely resides with the gem, @matthewharris___ The title of the work comes from a piece of writing I did earlier this year - and the writing was inspired by a dream which I’m sure was inspired by real events.

‘And Then it Falls Apart' is a group show curated by Sean Monaghan, featuring artworks from Ava Simpson, Lucca De Clario, Sean Monaghan, and Vasilika Tsingos. The inspiration and concept for the exhibition comes from a piece of writing Sean wrote it 2022: "Unrecognisable from the rupture was the tangible comfort of the vessel itself" @luccadeclario @4va_s @_vasilika___ @seen.that Spurred by the comfort of broken things, the cracked mug you still drink from, the loss that brings you warmth ... 'And Then it Falls Apart' asks the artists to explore the way in which endings can themselves be a form of affection and furthermore, a new beginning.
