A Glimpse and a Piece of Sky

Silk wrap just out of the pot

Like sky lying on my

artificial grass

Another silk wrap

cold dyeing with

what I believe to be Sea Almonds

Terminalia Catappa

They are now ripening and 

the trees are full of Red Tailed Black Cockatoos

eating them

Fortunately they drop a few

ripe ones for me to collect

and some new little paintings 

experimenting 

with shellac based inks

here in plain water

here in black tea

this is found rusty shapes

in black tea

all have been sealed with wax

and are 

10 x 10cm

This is a detail

of my entry to

the Cardwell Art Prize

and on an entirely different subject

this is my thumb

it is now on the mend

This is what happens when you are allergic to band aids

and are forced to use one

For days it was really swollen

and so painful

But now it just looks ugly.
