Beautiful writing by Linda Marie Walker and Paul Hewston. Linda taught me at Uni and is an absolute Gem/Hero. Photos from 10-10 By Kris, Bryan and anabela via Vic!

S found the grey truss, the story began. Neither of us knew about trusses. Anger is an energy, he said beating to the electronic band (with the flat sound). We decided on two definitions: the device worn to support a hernia, and, to tie or bind securely. After years of minor decisions, stilted talk, and intermittent carnality he tied himself with rope and jumped from a tall building. He told the woman in the lift that he'd decided to drown. But he jumped onto the concrete parking lot and broke everything and died ninety seconds later. The woman said she'd always remember him jerking. Held tied the rope tight around his chest and thighs. We were on the edge, that was the point of our involvement, he was intent on proving mortality. Anyway. the truss was just one of those tiny instances which inevitably lead to a larger act, and so he jumped trussed. I loved him. But you can't argue with obsession. He even had caring friends. He always acted stories.

A cry from Hell

today i bought the 50th anniversary edition of William S Burroughs' The Naked Lunch. I've been meaning to read it for ages and never have, now is my chance!. It is in a case (not a cage as i was told by my columbian  friend) and the edge of the pages are black. Several of my friends have told me that they tried to read it but had some trouble, so i am going to give it a go. I've seen the film and I know what Burroughs writing is like. Wish me luck!

Back in 2007 I made a short film piece about Burroughs' Cities of the Red Night:

new york i love you

 Wow, It has been a while since I have posted. New country, new house, new job and no internet mean that I have been a bit disconnected. Here are a few more shots that I took in New York (three months ago now!). I am working on an art project with a couple of friends so hopefully it will mean that I spend a bit more time on the net. I promise it won't be so long between posts again!

I don't always get what I want

But I still get beautiful days like today. And I think that is sometimes better.
