So many weird painty light things, head torch, stars, fancy wobbly mobile, mist. And 2 degrees subtropical! Socks with thongs weather! Actually I nearly had everything I own on. #lightpainting #milkyway #shotoniphone #iphonestarphoto #landscape #conondalenationalpark #milkyway #iphone12promax

Picking up mistletoe inks/prints from last year, checking for snakes, little map of experiences, that year of alone, havenβt quite come out of it yet. Snake skins. Circles. Webs. Cooler drier times in the studio are easier, it grows things, they grow into me. Sometimes I must lie fallow. #plantink #mistletoe #nativemistletoe #australianmistletoe #plantprint #fallow
A varying community of beings. Once this area was covered with diverse species, maybe some we donβt know now. Being here with a strong diversity, deepens connections and wisdoms between species, knowledge of adaptation, and interdependence, woven through the air and the soil, and then hopefully through us. π #conondalenationalpark Dallambara, Jinibara, Kabi Kabi, Gubbi Gubbi Country.

Dual handed drawing. Blind spots dug up with my fingers. Things I buried. Distance and time, make a long shadow on little bones. Never easy. Gently gently. #sensorimotordrawing

Everyday I do a few of these dual handed sensorimotor drawings, sometimes my hands mirror each other, sometimes they draw alongside each other, sometimes they do different things at the same time. Iβve discovered my left hand is good at breaking patterns and my right is good at making them. When I need to continue doing something my right hand knows how, when I need to change direction my left hand loves it. Everyday is different. And even when Iβm very sick I can usually manage a couple of these. Sometimes I will overlay them in the place Iβm feeling, and sometimes stack them to create a composite of sensory days. Another part of my daily practice is collecting something fallen and putting it in a jar with water or some other thing, creating an ink of sorts. They never become the colour they seem in the jar. At some stage, when Iβm through this bout of unwell I want to merge these inks and drawings. But Iβm still uncertain exactly how that will be. But Iβm sure something will come about. I love the way the plants and the earth move me. #sensorimotordrawing #plantinks #dualhandeddrawing #patterns #observations #symbiocene
Dispersal devotion, travelling through, encasing messages from all the places weβve been. We canβt help ourselves. Long range signifiers, depositing gatherings of senses between places. Maybe.
Not my favourite studio companion #redbelliedblacksnake π Update: I had the lovely people at @snakerescuesunnycoast come and remove it, as it started to climb the wall, and was a bit of a distraction. But it wasnβt a small red belly, but a large Eastern small-eyed snake - still as venomous, but not as many about. So glad itβll be living somewhere safe. #easternsmalleyedsnake
The illusive, but feral black stag of Conondale national park, from the car window, it didnβt want to eat breadcrumbs from my hand (probably a wet red deer, but it did have big antlers, that part is true) #blackstag #deer escapees from 80βs deer sanctuary?

Little piercing light inside a heavy rock. Enough to crawl through? Maybe just enough to see to the other side. Kabi Kabi Country, #southmaroochyriver
Ghost fungi, Omphalotus nidiformis, thought it was an oyster mushroom of some sort, got it home and it glowed in the dark. Glad we didnβt eat it! π€’π» I love that it looks like a glowing ghoul eye ππ would probably have terrified me to come across at night β¨ #ghostfungi #omphalotusnidiformis #ghostmushroom
