Clown Behind Bars




I wanted to share with you my most recent art purchase 'Clown Behind Bars'. This painting gives me unexpected joy, pretty much everyday - particularly when I get home from work and sigh and wonder about the ten hours just gone. And then I glance at the clown and I smile. 


I love the detail and the perspective with the little policeman in the distance. It was made by a very talented nine year old, and represents things that are kind of topsy turvy and not quite as they should be. Kind of like life sometimes you know? But funnier, because it is a clown behind bars. And a bit unsettling, because it is a clown behind bars.

Reuben Hills




Please go to Reuben Hills , it is amazing. The sandwich is the best I've ever eaten - wagu steak, pickles and slaw.


Icecream sandwich with salted caramel. Sigh.


Coffee made with farm fresh, un-pasteurised milk. Staff who look too cool for school but are professional, courteous and friendly. Heaven!

Why the Biennale is amazing

Nipan Oranniwesna's amazing City Of Ghost. Breathtaking detailed map of massive scale made with baby powder. Google that my friends! Oh hang on, I just did that for you: Image via http://dreamsyntax.org/blog/2009/03/nipan-oranniwesnas-city-of-ghosts/



Do you know another thing about this? It wasn't until I read this was made using baby powder that I noticed the smell of baby powder.


And the scale! This is a massive work, which you walk around. Please go see this: at the Art Gallery of NSW in Sydney.
