a double exposure of sorts - shutter open while slide transitioned.


Good to hear from you Fiona!! I've been lax with the blog too - too busy cutting out millions of leaves . . . print print print, cut cut cut, sew sew sew, print print print etc . . Wanda I really appreciate your encouragement to stick to the plan, what I thought was evidence of obsessive compulsive behaviour in artworks I love is just plain old discipline! I have listened to every Radio National program there is for the past two weeks, many of them twice as they are repeated.
As I'll have millions of leaves I'm thinking of scattering the extra ones on the floor and encouraging people to take a couple with them, in a Felix Gonzalo-Torres kind of gesture.

Audio preview did not work

OK, well the upload of the audio preview did not work...will try again another night...

Audio preview


Hi there

I know I haven't blogged for a while...but turning over a new leaf AGAIN, and going to try to blog more often now.

Tracey, I had a few secret spots myself as a child and would often go walkabout for hours on end much to my parents' distress, got in loads of trouble because of it sometimes.

I grew up on a hobby farm of 22 acres amongst a number of other much larger properties, some cattle, some cane. There was a big rock up the neighbours road, and another rock on our drive way. Not surprisingly my imagination would take me to singing performances to sell out crowds...ironically it would also take me to smoking hollow grass stalks as cigarettes.

I also spent a lot of time up a Jacarandah tree, and another spot was behind a dislodged backing between my built in wardrobe and my parents wardrobe. I would climb through to mum and dad's side and hide/play in the dark there. I would pretend I was going to Narnia.

I hope the audio upload has worked.

Fiona xo
