peter singer me somethin tres miserable
We cannot, for example, reason with Mother Nature. We cannot sanction our way through global warming or declare war on the melting ice caps in the Arctic in order to make them cease their melting. We cannot gather the dying bee population together, demand by law that they stop dying, and oder them to continue to pollinate our plants, lest we suffer starvation from lack of plant regeneration. Reason has run its course when it comes to Mother Nature's life system, we intuitively know this to be true. We can feel that there is a psychic pressure in the collective atmosphere, a type of shared anxiety that is both personal and impersonal, as if the atmosphere is pregnant with impending disasters, but yet the five senses tell us the world we live in looks the same as it always has. Only intuitively we know it's not the same. Everything about our lives is changing at light speed now, changing so fast the world we wake up in is significantly different from the world we go to sleep in each evening.

Melbourne trendoid making cultural observations in the Todd River
friends know i visit George the Chinese doctor quite regularly for guidance. It's been a difficult but very rewarding journey joining George as we navigate the path to opening our true hearts. I have until now been unsure how to pass on some of what is passed on with George, so i thought I would try add a quote or something maybe each week to get the ball rolling it may roll from there, because even the very strong polar bears simply diminish in numbers without a habitat. The seed needs water as they say.
This little drawing came from George telling me he thought I was 'wood' in charecter. I think you can be either wood, metal, earth, wind, fire or cheese. Don't bind up your branches or become a plank, reach out like a Todd River Snow Gum.

*********************
Hell Gallery launches into 2010 with a drawing show that throws a wide net over the Mark Makers of the Universe. Hells Bottom Drawer presents a selection of artists that mixes generations and conventions. From well known artworld figures to those completely independent from the artworld. Throw in a seventy-year age spread and drawing is shown as an equaliser; a unifying human compulsion in all its forms: functional, scrappy, immediate, meticulous, precious or throwaway.
