September 2nd, 2008

So, the reason I was in Melbourne was to show the work of this amazing fellow - Trent Whitehead. This is the studio visit pre-trip.

Some smaller paintings.

When I got there the boys were well under way building the installation. Kinsey took the trip down in the van with Trent. It was amazing to have him there.

The installed structure was this kind of run-down circus sideshow stall - it was later to house the masks.

Saw this celebrity on the street.

And saw this celebrity ‘running’ (rather than the usual ‘ruining’!) of the bar in Fitzroy North.

He invited me over for some lunch and to look at his amazing collection. There was art EVERYWHERE! So much great stuff. There were rooms dedicated to storing it.

A portrait of Peter by (I think) Lisa Reid. It was entered in the Archibald- I don’t think it hung in AGNSW but it did somewhere.

Another Trevelyan Clay. Great!

This was the reason I was there. An old John Patrick McKenzie - the type is much more raw, and it’s a simple one liner. Peter has been instrumental in helping the McKenzie show we are doing at Monster Children Gallery in September.

Thanks for everything, Peter.

Extended Family

August 29th, 2008
Edward and Olivia are two of my oldest friends that I have since I became an adult (of course my becoming an adult is up for debate, so please comment here), but really i mean, they are old friends. I lived on their floor literally and metaphorically. Amazing people. It was great to catch them for breakfast, and separately dinner and coffee while I\'ve been here in Melbourne.
