Kino

Who knew?

Kino, eucalypt sap, abundant in drought stressed trees succumbing to borers, dissolves in mentholated spirits to produce a coloured varnish.

I’m experimenting with kino wash on canvas and on paper, to create dry, burnt landscapes.

Focus on resentments

I created an artist's book. A catalogue of incendiary resentments, and then sensibly burnt it.

Visceral records

I found a new material. Viscera, porcine, dried. Sold to artisan sausage makers. It is perfect for recording the visceral finds.

Internal landscapes

The archivist has been busy. I have been working on a series of prints, drawings and paintings, to document the internal landscapes of loves and resentments, shames and joys. I began in 2019 trying to work out how I would display the findings.

I felt like a resurrectionist, exhuming and documenting the sort of stuff no-one wants to see. In the manner of Hunter, with his Atlas of the Gravid Uterus. The whole expose crosses a line (or three).

Should I create an atlas, an archive, an annotated bibliography? A cabinet of curiosities?

I started drawing specimen jars. Somewhere to store things, in the interim.
