A Child

 
I have quite a lot of toys here and tonight
also a child.
The blue inflatable fish I’ve had for about
2 years, it originally came from
Invercargill.
I’d had a few attempts at turning it into a picture
but to no avail although I did make
an earlier version, from the collection of the
Southland Museum.
It was a fish turned into light.

But to get back to the point,
the child today had found the blue
fish, blown it up, and brought it
to show me.
It made me take up my camera again.

Hanging


 
 
I’m having a major rehanging
of the walls where I live at present.
 
It’s taking much longer than I thought
it would, but still, it requires thought.
 
The bed in the upper photo is in fact
quite small. It’s a child’s bed in my guest room.
The pink object on the foot of the bed
is a hot water bottle.
The nights are frosty here at present.
 

Rose

 
This photo is of an artificial rose,
the type that has a small light bulb in it.

Two Goats


 
 
This photo is another that is the beginning
of a tryptych at least.
 
I think that Trinity and Whitebait should be
the other legs of the tripod.

Waves


 
 
I’m gathering my wave photographs together
tonight. I’m not sure whether I’ve
posted this one before, but I’ve several
of them and I get confused.

Studio Walls

 
Today I began, for the first time in ages,
organising the walls of my studio.
Basically I’m doing a ruthless rehang.
I decided to start with my left hand. The wall
to the left of where I sit when I write on the
computer.
Here are 3 recent works, they begin
the line.

The Prosthetic

 
 
Here is a prosthetic leg that is on display at
the Sarjeant Gallery in Whanganui. The leg is
from the collection of the Whanganui Museum.
