This romanticism is eating away at my brain

I usually am not one for romance, I dislike films replicating 'real love' or something that they're making us believe is true. How cliche the word 'love' is, along with classic quotes from the most cheesiest of all cheese ball films. In most ways films with a romantic plot usually dampen the human feeling of hope about the possibilities of something similar occurring to what happened in the film. Although, on rare occasions I let myself go and let a little bit of it creep into my brain. Ugh I hate letting myself feel these tingly and warm feelings, but by god has it made me feel like strawberries covered in melting chocolate.

creepy

if you live in perth, chances are you have either heard or seen his work
if you havent, welcome to the world of creepy....




How would you describe your own work?
I have strong themes of good vs evil. life and death. Contrasting ideas. The environment, my view of the everyday. Folk art.
a question i stole from the Australian Edge site when they interviewed creepy;

tapping into the real

okay so last friday night i attended the PICA art gallery opening. ive been there a few times and i guess it just keeps getting better and better. on entering we were given free 'feral beer and wine' tickets to claim our freebies. But being the responsible sought, we felt the need to drink wasn't as strong as our thirst for the art about to be revealed! and parched we were! it began in the bar with the usual speech being presented even though one old fart (with all due respect) decided to take to the floor for about 20mins. oh and by 'we' i mean my incredibly talented friend thinh and i. i will post some of his work up soon to give you a tasty. anywhoo after the intro gabble gabble we proceeded to bask in the talent of John Meade's pieces.Employing the rigours of geometry and soft organic form, John Meade works in an intuitive way to materialise his ideas, creating tightly orchestrated pieces that explore the metaphysical, the surreal and the erotic. Tapping into the real and the subconscious, playing with scale and expectation, Meade uses minimalism and messiness, the deliberate and the accidental, to explore extremes of form and intensities of emotion.
i recommend checking out his work along with Leigh Robb 'love of diagrams' at PICA located James street in northbridge.

essy

Have you ever had one of those day when a certain letter has stuck out and caught your attention? you see and hear it everywhere you go. I saw S everywhere today. on the streets, at school, in science even the rain had an shh sound to it. the wind screamed and the bus ride was full of smiles.
perhaps T tomorrow?
Listen; there's a hell of a good universe next door: let's go.
