Well folks it's time for me to face the facts

I'm simply too busy in the studio to be in here much

so although I'm not signing off exactly - I'm not really going to be 'here'

feel free to unsubscribe etc

I hope all your future stumbles are good ones!

cheers ya'll

(yes - these are some of my arty pieces... and yes - this is a 'review' of sorts of my main blog address....)

selected scenes from Sydney this morning - September 23 2009

yesterday the dust storm rolled over my area

overnight we had light rain

and outside this morning everything is covered in a film of red dust

extraordinary scenes - with sad ramifications -what is a red dawn today, was topsoil yesterday....

Here's the info from the flickr album....

Book sculpture featuring a "stained glass window" made out of discarded microfilms.
The sculpture hangs in the bell-tower closing the priory walls. Behind the book wall is the Romainm�tier Abbey Church.

I rarely do a one word review but all I've got for this idea is...

'WOW!'

read more about it here and you'll be saying 'wow' too

I am INSANELY busy right now....

a flurry of activity in and out of the studio

(I've just realised that I have less than 3 months to finish all the work for my Masters)

EEEEEEEEKKKKK!!!!

You'll only see me in here checking mail (etc.) over the next while (well that's the plan....)

******* have had all heck breaking loose here over the past week.....

in an ironic turn of events (given the pic up on top of my SU site) I've had a large bushfire press in close to my home here at the creek (my neighbours were advised to evacuate over the weekend) all is calm (fire is still alight and making a nuisance of itself) but I don't have internet at the creek - so I'm out and about (in the smoke) working on whatever computer I stumble over....

fire descends the south eastern face of gulaga mountain

As mentioned in the previous post - I've been offline for more than 2 weeks - and this has been what I've been watching for the majority of that time... I've been quite safe here, a couple of kms from the fire front but it has been a tense time for my darling friends over the hill (and up against the flames...)

Gulaga ('mother' as known by local Kooris - the indigenous and original inhabitants of our area) is an ancient extinct volcano - the sight of flames spewing down the sides of the mount was absolutely amazing!

it is however a timely (if out of season) reminder of just what it is like to live cheek by jowl to hundreds of kilometres of eucalypt forest in rural australia
