Ambitious Artist Ha Ha Ha video



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.



Back in ‘81

When

Times were fun

As a fine artist

With ambition in mind

I thought of life



It was so primitive

From the 1860s to 1950s

They were seemingly untreatable

They were feared

There was panic

Colonies within a colony



A prison for the sick

Of appalling living conditions

Enforcing social isolation

GRIM and SHAME



A wish in time

Investing in negative sentiment

Self-sealing

Theory

Evidence

Belief



Invested in negative sentiment

Fabric and Structure



Pressed on for living

I have the need to know

Fleeting and impulsive distrust



A self-deprecating joke

I murmur in delight of my loss

I just need a reason

Shelter with me

Angel of Death please pass us by

It’s not true that no one needs you anymore

It is the what that is driving my unhappiness

Embellished through enforced competition



Bless my soul

A self-deprecating joke



Wet and drenched

The edge is challenging me

So obedient to all worldly matters

Harbouring my safety 

I murmur in delight of my loss

For this lonely man rides again



You should be building me up

But your system keeps drags me back

I just need a reason

To sail away

In a dream



A nightmare is approaching

Shelter with me

I slam the door shut

Alert and quivering

Resilient and defiant in fear 

Whispering

Angel of Death please pass us by



It’s not true that no one needs you anymore

But, I just wish I was dead

My vastness of inadequacy

Your judgment is self-honourable

It is the what that is driving my unhappiness

Controlling the damage of my self-worth 

Embellished through enforced competition



The benefits to those who rule

The benefits for those who are ruled

Masters and the slaves

Civilized and savage

Modern and pre-modern



The civilizing mission of non-nations

Registration, surveillance, and control 



In sickness and health

The shaping of minds

A continuum of sickness

A continuum of violence

  From behind this veil I can see everything and everyone You only see me as a shadow  I sometimes get lost in the camouflage You try to remain civil and courteous Inside, I have no need Outside, you have no idea Here I am on my crafted net In my domain Waiting for you to enter To select the choice Convinced  As unconstrained And Free It is not sufficient. To ransom our future on exponential growth. A future of class division. Where the unprofitable is marginalized. One-off sponsorship You Tube

Are you on the bus

  Are you on the bus? What is your destination? Will you cross the road? What is behind the machine? The privilege of possessing a curious mind and an urge to make sense. When Flinders circumnavigated New Holland. He took Trim. Suitable for service. Faithful and affectionate. So it became. Forging ahead and getting around restrictions. Breaking national protections. Cutting the red tape. To this day Encroachments are made to preserve Australia's prosperity. And maximizing returns, by reorganizing structures. To maintain productivity and continuous growth. Video Remembering what the imperial powers set in place. Civilization, Christianity, and Commerce. The essential values to justify achievement and superiority. To inflict an ideological belief of inferiority. And to punish cultures into subservience and dependency. Masters and soldier ants. Each time we try to free ourselves.  Sovereign power adjusts its grid of discipline. A correction to form a new normal. A nation of docile s

  Bark Hut Batwoman Simulacrum Northern Territory Gothic Shadows Poem Video Bark Hut Inn Bat Woman Arrives Brutally dispossessed. Placed onto a reserve. And promised rations. Detering the minority from becoming the majority. All stand-down when aesthetics enters the room. Imagined realities. Perspective from the darkness. Obsessions, failure, and virtue. Anxieties, fear, and panic. How did we know the world? Our ghosts of opportunity and precious wealth. Our unspeakable and inexpressible horror. To evoke and convey our superior taste.

Privacy becomes a threat. Outsiders are no longer welcome. In Fragmentation. Instability. Multiple realities. The burning of bridges. Work-life is paramount. One-off sponsorship You Tube

Darwin Sidewalk

  Listen for the faint sounds of weeping. To reestablish your direction. The path you are on. Your dreams and visions. The need to feel above. Above the underworld. Fighting each weakness to fail. Each diversion that beckons. Seeking the shortcomings of each perfection. The same street. Is no longer recognizable. It is time to search. For a catalyst.  For an ornament.  For a precious memory. Sacredness and control. Through self-reflection. And thinking about thinking. Too hectic to wade through the complications. The science, values, and imperatives. The social categories in disagreement. We are polarised. By our relationship to reality. By our bond to our peers.  By conflicts that form identity. The kind of person you are. Who you share your values with. Who you are trusted by. Who understands you. Small conversations. That involves acceptable lies.  To get on each other's side. Trying to imagine where we can agree. By avoiding disagreements. And points of view. By skipping over w
