“THE LAST WORD WILL NEVER BE SAID”

Last night I left my sisters apartment with my old painted canvases from under the blue velvet day beds, with half a coconut raspberry cake, and some books I had left behind, wearing Swedish wellingtons and a shearling coat bought and most likely made from the skin of a West Aussie bleater. While she slept [...]

Ummingbirds

I would like to involve Henry Miller in this B.L.O.Gash. I think he would enjoy being here to talk to you people, and not only me. At the moment we are talking about stilled hummingbirds. At this second I am reminded of the lovely Daniel Auber’s image of an upside down hummingbird flying through the desert [...]
