Saw this beautiful fungus on a walk this morning at Mallard Point, Fish Creek Park. Just love the bright orange colour and the texture. Growing on an old log.
Artist Statement
This piece speaks where the other listens.
The form remains soft, but the color does not allow distance. Red compresses space, removing the option of neutrality. What was once intimate becomes declarative.
I’m interested in how the same structure can hold radically different emotional registers. Here, proximity turns into pressure. The face is still present, but it no longer waits to be discovered.
This work is about intensity without violence — presence without permission.

I found these shoes hanging by their shoelaces from a power line in the city centre of Canberra. Noone seems to know what it is all about but there are rumours of copycat efforts around the city with various other statements.
Shuishang Gongyuan (水上公园), or Tianjin Water Park, is easily my favorite city park in Tianjin and – to date – in China. Granted, I haven’t been to nearly enough places in China to make a more comprehensive statement, but of the parks I’ve been to in Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, and Guangzhou, this is easily my favorite.
It’s the largest urban park in the city at a little over 300 acres of space. The park was officially opened in its current state by the communist government in 1951. Previously, it had been known as Green Dragon Pond and has a history that dates back to the first century AD. “With the establishment of Beiyang University and Nankai University at the turn of the 20th century, the waterways of the park became popular for swimming among academic staff and students during the hot summer months.” (Summation via Wikipedia entry.)
The park is quite pleasant year-round. In summer, the lotus pond is bursting with flowers and the photographers who love to shoot them. In spring and fall, various flowers bloom (chrysanthemums in fall, peonies in spring). Winter brings a freezing of the lakes – and there are three: East Lake, West Lake, and South Lake – whereas summer brings a rash of personal boaters.
In addition to leisurely strolling around the grounds with the various pavilions, verandas, and pagodas, the Tianjin Zoo (separate admission) is also on the grounds of the park. Also, there is an amusement park in the northeast corner of the park. Amusement parks are pretty common fare among China’s city parks, which make them slightly different than American city parks.
Shuishang Gongyuan is quite easy to locate. It is nearest the Tianta subway station on line 3 of the Tianjin Metro, about a 5-10 minute walk from any of the exits (though exits C & D are technically the closest). The Tianta TV Tower (whence comes the name of the subway station) is also nearby and quite prominently visible from many places in the park. I’ve yet to venture to the top of the tower, but it would provide an excellent viewing platform for a panoramic view of the park, weather permitting.

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump speaks at a press conference in Minneapolis on March 28, 2021. The conference was held prior to the opening statements in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who was accused of murder in the death of George Floyd. Crump, representing the Floyd family, addressed the media, highlighting the significance of the "8:46" duration of Floyd's restraint, a reference to the time Chauvin's knee was on Floyd's neck. The trial took place amidst heightened national attention on racial justice and police accountability.
This image is part of a continuing series following the unrest and events in Minneapolis following the May 25th, 2020 murder of George Floyd.
Ballyer Trad Hub Mission Statement
The Ballyer Trad Hub is an open space dedicated to creating awareness of the connection between traditional music and Ballyfermot and the fun and education which comes from music learning.
The Trad Hub aims to be a welcoming and encouraging environment for people of all ages, inviting each individual to come along and find out about the music and also to try out the musical instruments on display. Two of the major obstacles facing people who would like to learn an instrument, are 1. financial and 2. self-doubt; the Trad Hub aims to break down these and other barriers in a bid to create that vital initial access point to musical instruments for anybody with an interest. There will be free, informal lessons given by the Trad Hub supervisor on the instruments at the Trad Hub. Of course, participants do not have to intent on committing to learning an instrument, they might just want to grasp the opportunity to hold a fiddle or a banjo for the first time in their lives. All interest is welcome and encouraged.
The Hub will also provide information, in Irish and English, on traditional music in the area, both at present and historically, as well as information on concerts, sessions, events and lessons in the area. It is planned that the Trad Hub will commence on Saturdays, 11-1pm, at Ballyfermot Library.
Functions of the Ballyer Trad Hub
Instrument Try-out Zone
It is the aim of the Trad Hub to provide a variety of musical instruments on display for people to pursue and try out at their leisure.
Archive
The Trad Hub will also be compiling an archive of music and material relating to traditional music and musicians from Ballyfermot. To this end, please see
copirl.wixsite.com/ballyermusichub/traditional
for some information compiled so far, on musicians from the area who have played traditional music.

Ich mag die Farben (ist halt blau). Es hat aber mit der Finanzkrise und den Banken zu tun. Die meisten Finanzleute und Banker machen einen guten Job (99% oder mehr). Einige wenige haben aber das Konzept des Geldes nicht verstanden und machen mit ihre Gier Probleme.

I like the colors (because it's blue). But it's not about colors, it's about the financial crisis Europe suffers. Most of the financial people and bankers do a great job (99% or even more). But a few did not understand the concept of money and cause a lot of problems with their greed.

ARTIST STATEMENT:
I create bodies of work that explore subjects such as gender, artifice, and spectacle. Utilizing processes ranging from directorial to curatorial to anthropological, I showcase exuberantly irrepressible personalities who revel in challenging clichés associated with constructs such "masculinity" and "femininity". A sampling of subjects include Girls Girls Girls (the world's first and only all-female Mötley Crüe tribute band), Tazzie Colomb (the world's longest competing female bodybuilder), and LACTIC Incorporated (an avant-garde clothing brand that takes the detritus of corporate life and reinterprets it into one-of-a-kind structural garments that challenge the polarization of gender).
With this current and ongoing project "Life is Drag", I am documenting the most innovative and singular performers of the currently exploding international alt-drag and neo-burlesque scenes. I am 3 years into this project, and so far have created 250+ portraits. These are created in my studio as well as during residencies - in New York City (The Cell Theater, Bushwig), Pittsburgh (The Kelly Strayhorn Theater, Blue Moon Bar, Bloomfield Garden Club), and New England (3S Artspace).
This project began in early 2019 in my studio in Brooklyn, when I collaborated with a local visual artist by the name of Untitled Queen - a deeply beloved, highly respected, and uniquely visionary performer and conduit within the NYC drag scene who uses drag as a part and extension of her artistic process. I then worked with selected performers from Ohio and Kentucky in conjunction with a mid-career retrospective in my hometown of Cincinnati in the spring of 2019, and in January and February of 2020, I worked with 20+ New England-based drag artists as part of a residency and exhibition at 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
From the autumn of 2020 until the summer of 2021, I was an artist in residence at The Cell Theatre in the Chelsea neighborhood of NYC, where I expanded the project in the midst of the pandemic to also include neo-burlesque performers and performance artists whose work deals specifically with gender performativity. Most recently was a residency in my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio - which included creating video portraits of performers from the drag haus ODD Presents, members of the neo-burlesque troop Smoke & Queers, and other alt-drag and burlesque artists from the tri-state area. This residency also included an exhibition featuring this ever-growing archive, as well as multiple live performance events.
My long-term goal is to continue to do a series of such residencies nationally and internationally, which will allow me to create a comprehensive archive of video portraits of drag, burlesque and performance artists from a wide range of locations, backgrounds, cultures, and ages. Each portrait includes video of the artist performing (lip-synching, singing, telling stories, reciting monologues, dancing, etc.) in addition to interview documentation, and will live online as well as in galleries and unexpected places in between. "Life is Drag" has so far been exhibited at such venues as the the Carnegie Museum of Art and Bunker Projects (PA), Satellite Art Club, Bushwig and The Cell (NYC), 3S Artspace (NH), and the Weston Art Gallery (OH).
I believe this project is innovative and important in that it is treating and respecting "drag" (defined as broadly and inclusively as possible) as a proper art form – recognizing it as an extremely vital and valid style of performance art, and every bit as deserving of the deference reserved for more traditional classical art forms like painting and sculpture. Drag is painting and sculpture and performance all at once - and quite often also activism, education, protest, therapy, resistance, catharsis, comedy, tragedy, enlightenment, inspiration - or some combination of the above - to those who practice it, and also to those who experience it as an observer. This project is about celebrating this experimental and expansive form of art and its wide range of practitioners and manifestations. It is about creating a record - an archive - of these brilliant but ephemeral performances, from dive bars to art galleries, city streets to grand theater stages. It is about trying to properly document and share these wildly diverse acts and profound stories that will surely open minds and capture hearts.
A stroll on the beach is often so enjoyable thanks to the people I meet there.
Michal was playing her guitar which attracted us and we asked her to sing, too. She did gladly and we joined in.
Michal, 23 y/o, has recently returned home to Israel from India where she had spent three months. She was looking for peace and quiet in Goa and a place to get away from family pressure.
"I was told repeatedly to start studying, do something with myself, but I just wanted to be left in peace."
India did help her to find quietude although Michal said it was too short a stay. She intends to go back someday.
Michal believes that people should do more things that they love. People shouldn't lie to themselves, they should smile more and love unconditionally.

Hardwick is a conspicuous statement of the wealth and power of Bess of Hardwick, who was the richest woman in England after Queen Elizabeth I herself. It was one of the first English houses where the great hall was built on an axis through the center of the house rather than at right angles to the entrance. Each of the three main stories is higher than the one below, and a grand, winding, stone staircase leads up to a suite of state rooms on the second floor, which includes one of the largest long galleries in any English house and a little-altered, tapestry-hung great chamber with a spectacular plaster frieze of hunting scenes. The windows are exceptionally large and numerous for the 16th century and were a powerful statement of wealth at a time when glass was a luxury: "Hardwick Hall, more glass than wall" the saying went. There is a large amount of fine tapestry and furniture from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. A remarkable feature of the house is that much of the present furniture and other contents are listed in an inventory dating from 1601. wiki
