I'd never seen one before or since I photographed a Rain Moth on my tree in 2017. They only live one day in their adult form. They reproduce and then die. This magnificent creature was about 12 cm long and remained on my tree for a few hours, then disappeared. The tree is also no longer as it was infested by an ant colony and had to be removed.
Me in my studio above a shop in Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn in 1993. I think it reveals the genesis of my interest in replication, repetition and design in recent works on paper. However, these works were collage, paint and ink. Note: they no longer exist except in this photograph.

Following from artworks in 2022 in which I used scrambled text, yesterday I completed this A2 work on paper using artist's pen (india ink) on fine printmaking paper.
Yesterday I was advised that my little book has been catalogued by the State Library of Victoria as: Minotaur (Greek mythological character), Australian Fiction and Short story. It may only be read in the library.
Life can be magic and mysterious, though I suspect that this moment in time had something to do with the fact that I'm currently reading Marina Abramovic's Memoir on her life of performance art. Which brings me to the fact that, quite by chance I had an interesting conversation this afternoon about body art with John, the lead singer of Trophy Eyes. I feel blessed when these impromptu occasions occur. They are so rare and welcome.
I lodged my little book with the State Library of Victoria. I may register it as an eBook at some stage. At the moment I'mreading Marina Abramovic's Memoir and playing with camera tools on my mobile phone. This is one still from a 3 second video I took.
