My apocalyptic city held to ransom with the rest of the country by bush fires and drought while my dumbarse prime minister waits happily with the rest of his cult for the rapture. #bushfires #drought #climatecrisis #Anthropocene @scottmorrisonmp #farrightnutjobs #votethefuckersout #itsonus

Grinding grooves dated to up to 22,000 years looking like the toolmakers just stepped away for a meal break. Even after reading Bruce Pascoe’s ‘Dark Emu’ I can only guess at the extent of the expert land stewardship that enabled culture to flourish for this kind of almost geological time, and can’t help but compare it to the catastrophe capitalism has achieved in the blink of an eye. #dharugcountry #gundungurracountry #climatecrisis #indigenousknowledge #darkemu #brucepascoe

The first of three articles I’m writing that look at contemporary weaving practices is up on @artguideau This is Blake Griffiths’ ‘Categorical Net’ from my preview of his solo show ‘Finding Balance’ at Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery. It’s a real pleasure to spend time listening to these practitioners . #textileart #textileartists #contemporaryart #artguideaustralia #brokenhillregionalartgallery

Joyce Campbell from her epic ‘As It Falls’ 2017-2018 #joycecampbell #adamartgallery So glad to catch this show and strangely satisfied that her Antarctic daguerreotypes refused to be photographed.

Sometimes I get a bit frustrated when students write for uni tasks as though they’re texting a friend. And then I get this and I shut my bitch mouth. #thanksjayyoutoo
