Kid's Bike and Other Rubbish.
Tuesday, November 27, 2007, 12:48 PM

Dear Diary - the kid's bike floats on an assortment of rubbish...empty and broken bottles, a shoe, black bin bags, garden cuttings, abandoned underway and pieces of clothing...

Every item has a story and collectively they attest to the coalescence, the intersection at this one location, of their individual histories...this is one story I am having trouble reading...

Bear In Tree 2.

Dear Diary - Maybe it is one of the famous "Drop Bears" or maybe it's just had a big night...if you look closely you will notice that it's a bit legless...

Bear In Tree 1.

Dear Diary -

The bear has stopped climbing for now...
it is obviously stuffed and in need of a rest

Old Boat - Beached.

Dear Diary -

"...my underbelly is dry and cracked and chaffed,
the sun caresses my prone body
I am tired and old
waves count off the grains of sand
each sweep erodes my purpose...

one day I will simply float away..."

Chair - Brixton Street.
Tuesday, May 08, 2007, 12:41 PM

Dear Diary - to follow the white line or to take a seat and spend some time spinning around in circles...? mmm...it's a difficult choice...

	Worn and tattered old office chair sitting in the middle of the road...skin like the weather worn features of a 60s sun goddess...her tan, the essence of her skin-deep beauty, the primordal pit of her, as yet, unrealised inner leper...
	The sounds here are unusually interesting for a little side street...cars and birds, distant warning beepers on construction vehicles, the screeching of the building they are ripping apart can be heard from blocks away, their sub-woofer hummmmm throbs throughout the neighbourhood...a car drives past and a tradesman drops his tools into the back of his parked ute... Listen to a sound bite from this location... (*.mp3 format, 940KB)
	Subtle smells of trees and old rubbish left over from a recent bin collection mishap...
	The road feels rough and catches at me as I scrape the feet of my tripod across it...the bark of the trees looks much smoother than it actually is...the tree is misrepresented by its own skin...
	I can taste the essence of the tree bark mixed with the muddy, tangy aftertaste of slightly rotting rubbish...
