LSL 60



At the age of 60, I thought life would be much easier to understand


In the '80s, I was painting art inspired by Fauvist, Cobra and Art Brut artists


I wanted my art to be raw, powerful and primitive


I was investigating our psychological and physical barriers as they failed to protect


I wanted to paint self entrapment where sickness and resistance hid any possibility of outwardly demonstrating wellness.

Australian Gothic

Image
The land  Where there are no crumbling castles  No bloodsucking vampires No ancient monsters No antiquity Too immature for proper history
The terror is unseen The terror has been repressed  Through imperial violence, fear, and subversion Mass transportation to the dungeon of the world

50 thousand years 
Then came The water buffalo The missionaries Pastoral activity Uranium mining Forestry Tourism
Sheer relentless pressure Bringing forth crisis and social breakdown Through an obligation to make way

We sense their dread As they combined the elements to create a threat
A social, religious, and physical threat The darkest mountain The deepest canyon No escape
THEN There are those who predicted the threat Those who compose the realities of impending horror  Those who shepherd the flock into their shelters
As we return to our nooks and anticipate their foretold slaughter

When you feel an object is both alive and not alive
Consecrated Special powers Invisible forces Made powerful for human purpose
As the hypothetical force mani…

Seeking a New Way of Seeing

Image
A political act To rebalance the inequities Trust intuition There is a risk that our story will not be told
Our time doesn't have to be linear Or by its means of describing us In the busy work of creating an unfulfilling life


Who is in charge of my simulation? When I am observed  I behave differently Fearing my vulnerability  Fearing constant attack
My mind indistinguishable from reality I step onwards To self-correct my past errors As I passively slip through multiple dimensions

With My Judgmental and Righteous Hands
In this game, I have two hands One is for verity One is judgment One is bringing forward truth One is for corrective measures One is to bring alignment One is to teach a lesson As we transform onwards through this immense virtual space

Night Walking with Weapons
In distant places Everyone is hacking each other Everyone is grieving Everyone overconsuming
There are those trying to reduce socio-economic gaps  Where enforcement is distributed unequally
And I keep searching for signs of what is to come I…

My favourite image of the Week 003

Death Note Shinigami Ryuk
From above
Watching, casting and preying
Crossing boundaries of belief
Interpretations of self, questioning justice, making profound decisions
Buried deep within, a want to make meaningful action
Lost in transversed boredom
Lost within duty
There is no care whilst self seeking empathy
Accepting the forbidden to forsake folly, deceit and corruption
This game is deception
In this game temptation is formed by opportunity and the seeking of help
The partnership of do good and the intent
Place, situation and delusion

PISA and Education Reform.

PISA and Education Reform.This ABC Hindsight program discusses why Finland reformed its education system in the 1970s.http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/rearvision/finland-the-real-education-revolution/4228418Pasi Sahlburg, a former director of Education in Finland discusses  how Finland has achieved success and the important role of teacher quality and teacher training.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf65Z_gqH1UThis is an excellent discussion, as it covers the purpose of change and the strategic processes employed to gain achievement. The discussion also highlights the need of countries to make reform. PISA is a reflective tool which countries can validate against and use to make reform. Australia is different to Finland and as this discussion implicitly identifies – as the world changes nations need to reform their approach to education. It could be that Finland got it right for an era the Industrial era (which the PISA testing methods are tied). It may not be suitable for t…

Jingili Circumnavigated

Image
Trim Circumnavigated  Adaptive Suitable for service Faithful and affectionate But stolen and eaten

From the gutters  Time well spent
Forever trying to make it Curious, creative, and nontraditional  Independent and alert
To knowing The battles that need to be fought To whom it must be Focused on predictive outcomes By mimicking and anticipating their actions


The explorer of the unknown The explorer of the unconscious The explorer of creativity
In our ordinary life In our commonality In our common cause for boredom
In all of the mindless small tasks That are too numerous  To be named 
Find your prey Follow it Patiently wait Catch it

Place As cold as the moon And in the balance The importance of being present Intrust and intelligence
Need Never to be left alone Feeling relaxed Showing affection 
Objective Remove all unwanted behaviors Through repeated iterations

Faithful and affectionate Never to be left alone In our ordinary life Forever trying to make it

Future public transport: The straddling bus

Image
Tired of traffic jams and exhaust fumes? A recently unveiled design concept for a "straddling bus," which lets cars drive underneath, can not only save road space but also help reduce air pollution.




The passenger compartment spans two traffic lanes and sits high above the road surface on a pair of stilts,leaving the road clear for ordinary cars to pass underneath.


Regardless of whether the the bus is moving or not, cars under 2 meters high can easily pass through.


Running along special tracks, the bus can carry up to 1,400 passengers, and travel at a top speed of 60 kilometers per hour.

I can see the timeless universe through seasonal leaves Calling me from afar my being is hoisted high Keeping my feet to ground  My body is warmed underneath blankets of growth With flames behind me and the wonderous in front I am flying and stationary  Alive and in motion In time and in place My life intent Knowing mortality within expanse I can sleep and dream
