Suspension of Disbelief

Actions of the present make it difficult to remember the past fondly and vice versa.
All actions have a consequence. But I hope it's going well for you.
Steam is rising from my mouth when I wake up in the morning. There's some snow on the mountain in more ways than one.
Would like to show an absent friend all the things he would like and what he was waiting for.
Existing in a place between faith and rationality, reveling in the unknowable,
wondering if the pilgrims found what they came to find. Suspecting more can be found by standing in a field and screaming at the sky.
There is something important to be said.


An eventful month coming up;
"iPAWS" (International Psychic Amateurs Work Study)
a group exhibition curated by Jo Cook
At Lucky's Comics, Vancouver, Canada, Aug 3-30, 2008.
I'm showing a couple of prints based on video stills. See Link.

"Parallel" - a group exhibition curated by Brigita Ozolins
At the Long Gallery, Salamanca Art Centre, Hobart, Australia.
Open to the public from Tuesday, August 5 - 31, 2008.
Official opening - 6:00pm Tuesday; August 12, 2008.
I'm showing a video and sound installation called "Portal Lux Aeterna"












Also during the run of "Parallel" I will performing the final of "Ritual 5 : Watch the Skies" at Salamanca Place gardens at 8:00pm August 8, 2008 (08/08/08).I will later complete and present a video work based on the submissions of this international 'ritual' performance.

Incidently this final ritual date coincides with the 20th anniversary of the death of composer Giacinto Scelsi, someone whose music and biography means a lot to me. I dedicate this final ritual to him. More info.


The experimental, electronic improv trio I am part of with Scot Cotterell and Tom Hall will be doing two shows; the first one loud, the second one quiet.












TRIAD @ Myspace


Hope to see you at one or more of these events.
Be good to each other.
