My show is up at START gallery and some bands played there on Saturday night, as part of the Stereophonic festival this weekend. The photos are of These Hands, Liam Finney and Corey Isenor, it was a super nice show and I feel really lucky that my stuff was up for it.
From Claire’s show at START during Stereophonic.
She painted Betty and I dressed up as whisky and we got to be surly painted back up dancers for the evening.
I was honoured!
“Poor Naz. He wanted everything perfect, neat, wanted all matter organized and filed away so that it wasn’t mess. He had to learn too: matter’s what makes us alive- the bitty flow, the scar tissue, the signature of the world’s very first disaster and promissory note guaranteeing its last. Try to iron it out at your peril. Naz had tried, and it had fucked him up. I tried to make out what it was that he was mumbling. It seemed to be data: figures, hours, appointments, places, all abandoning their posts and scrambling for the exits, sweating their way out of him, rats scurrying from a sinking ship.”

I’ve had these up before, and then taken them down, but in a new years non-resolution to fight indecision, I’ve decided to put ‘em up and keep ‘em up.
