away

Away for 4 weeks, in Turkey ..

.. it's an awfully long flight, we stop briefly in Singapore
(where I saw this beautifully restored temple, years back)
another few hours in Abu Dhabi, then finally the fabled Istanbul.
(No posts, no replies to comments,
nor selling/sending Burning Questions. Come back later?)

Dick Osseman's large site helped work out where to go.
He's travelled widely there, & posts lots of museum photos too.

isaac & meike

Have just done the new poster for Isaac & Meike's meetings
here in Byron Bay; will miss two, am off on an exciting
trip that I think will resemble time travel.
You can click on the link top right, to see our book,
though sales are suspended while I'm away.

mural

Did I post this before? I heard the educational facility
that has owned it for past 20 years needs funds,
& is trying to find a buyer for my mural, it's 5 metres wide,
this is the right-hand third.
(See the Life Education Centre on the Gold Coast, Qld.
It's behind Pacific Fair, near the library)
I am leaving in a few days, then wont be posting till October.

invisible cities

I made a series of monoprints based on the locations in
Italo Calvino's wonderful Invisible Cities.
right is Anastasia: " when you are in the heart of
Anastasia, one morning your desires waken all at once
& surround you"

subterranean dreams in Turkey

by hand

Two pages from a book that didn't happen, (hand lettered)
This was before computers.
I sold the paintings in an exhibition, & have used the
image right in Burning Questions
(The text is a translation of Huang Po)

what a splendid series of talks at the Rubin museum of art

impermanence

Two versions on the same subject
~ impermanence ~
with many years between painting the one
at top, & photographing the parts of
deteriorating buddhas for the one below.

wasted

When I did this (a long time ago) it clearly
wasn't working. The mask must have taken ages to cut.
Looks like I then used it as a cutting board, later still
as packing for photos. What interests me now
is the amount of trouble I was prepared to take, then:
days, weeks, even months. Is it computers that
have changed my attitude to time, or simply age?
