Determined to get at least the next stage of 60 from 250? completed by September and so progress in being made.

the Story - ii

Eora people asked the question,
Waube-rong orab,
Where is a better country?

The thief colony might hereafter become a great empire, whose nobles will probably, like the nobles of Rome, boast of their blood.

the Story

"If, in the New Year of 1788, the eye of God had strayed from the main games of Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa, and idled over the huge vacancy of sea to the south-east of Africa, it would have been surprised in this empty zone to see not one, but all eleven ships being driven east on the screaming band of westerlies."

Back to my life

During past months it was like I disappeared into a world of work, sick, and recovery. Luckily I have made it to the other side and after an awesome holiday to NYC and San Francisco I have been plotting my way back to art and studio world.

Recent activities to remind myself of good stuff:
- Ellen Gallagher at the Tate Modern
- Narelle Jubelin at Marlborough Contemporary
- Rachel Whiteread at Gagosian
- Open studios at Park Studios
- Souzou at the Wellcome 
- Seeing Aga's MA grad show at St Martins
- drawing on a rooftop terrace with great friends that I studied with
.....and of course back in the studio
oh and awesome dinner at Dishoom.

It has got me front and centre back into what I need to be doing and so I will also be trying to be blogging in a new and different way.
