The fish has lived its entire life in a different dimension. It would be like ascending to Heaven (or would it be Hell?)

Carson Mell is my new hero. I found him through Starlee Kine's Mystery Show podcast which also so great... Start with episode #3 THE BELT BUCKLE.

Trestle - Museum of Democracy at the Old Parliament House, Canberra, Australia
When I started the research for this work, I began with thinking about how the security office acts as a bridge between the public and the elected leadership of the nation. Individuals and ideas travel over this bridge to become the framework of the government.
I also became aware of the enormous historical challenges of governing the vast expanse of the nation of Australia. The tyranny of distance was a term that came up in several conversions. The Prime Minister’s office serves as a metaphorical bridge over this distance and I started to see the primarily function of these ‘bridge builders’ as lining up two disparate points in space. Bridges, whether metaphorical or real, build upon layers of understanding and finding a meeting point somewhere in the middle. The physical bridge I ended up with as seen here is a clean and logical metaphor for the messiness and chaos of democracy.
The lumber used for this project is Casuarina torulosa, commonly referred to as ‘forest oak.’ It is part of a surplus of lumber used for the construction of the new Parliament House and has been stored at the Australian National University’s Furniture Department for over 30 years. As a visiting artist to this department, I was allowed access to this treasure of native Australian lumber for my project and have been thrilled to see its travels from the new Parliament House to the old.
Slomo!
I was really struck by this. Lee and I watched it together and we both cried. A great story and a really nice piece of film making.

HoodSlam!
Lee and I went to HoodSlam for the first time last Friday and it was quite a scene. A carnival, a play and a homegrown Oakland extravaganza. A place to take your out of town guests when they want to see what the locals are doing.
