  Every stop is a story - Darwin to Adelaide River The Adelaide River Rupture (image to be uploaded - subscribe to be notified) The storm did not break over the Adelaide River plains; rather, reality tore open along the track. To the left, the familiar Top End landscape clung fiercely to its quiet melancholy. A lone gum tree stood sentinel over the charred scrub and dry earth, its leaves catching the last bruised light of a brooding wet-season sky. In the hollow below, the old fictional homestead crouched beside the rutted dirt road, enduring the heavy stillness that always settles before the atmosphere ruptures. Then came the tear. It began not with thunder, but with an overwhelming, luminous heat that shredded the grey overcast into molten ribbons. You could feel the vortex of raw energy sweeping through radiant ambers, searing cadmium oranges, and blinding celestial whites. The vortex descended like a folded dimension brushing against the earth. Where the atmospheric rift touch...

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 Structu...

We only want to be provided clues  No longer do we want our problems answered From now on - dismantle and search Under this contractual biosphere  Knowing all of the hyped-up falsities The everyday inference My overvalued ideas  Our failed continuum  It was always out of reach Barriers no matter how small  Barrier no matter how thin Have held me in sway Cutthroat capitalism Empires and colonies Subjected new frontiers Past crimes held beyond reproach My car is making me fat I no longer walk These streets are devoid of humans Nobody is noticing that everything is wrong Until a barbarian walks by Then cries of horror are heard We come to catch a glimpse of the primitive The pre-capitalist primitive  The pre-Christian primitive With the convenience of coffee and shops Not quite the real thing Commodification Taking photos Buying artifacts The Ulladulla Gatekeepe...

Melbourne to Darwin The Shopping Centre Not knowing whether to be scared or to be content Make your judgment Halo or devil  We describe our persona of creepy In our religious manifestations In our children books In our stories  In our movies Our hell on earth Permitting the dead to guide our fear and vision  Peter went shopping In our hallowed place of transaction To think and talk about probability To keep the gate open for approved believers To revoke the others who continue to seek knowledge Our gatekeeper of the significant fell into a moment And became lost in thought  He let his guard down  There on a humble symbol of power  Laid down to rest Control A situation began to unfold No-one saw who claimed it Everyone knows Key 6 was extensively employed to establish Terra Australis Incognita To support those of divine grace to access the fruits of this new world ...
