Berlin corners · film frames · people I love
pretty rooms with outlived uses
on a blank sheet

blank sheets, and what's beneath. sometimes there's' words. often there aren't.

An arvo in the garden a long time ago, a loaned camera, black-and-white film. A good day

it's expensive to be poor
A shopfront I couldn't walk past. Someone printed it sixteen times and meant it every time.

BENEATH

Some rooms outlive their purpose.

An arrivals hall with nothing arriving. Red beams overhead. A grand facade with a dreamlike back-story and little use. But that's really all that's left.

— Berlin-Tempelhof

Building a shed to make dust in

Six drawings, no timber, and a growing suspicion that the drawing was always the point.

About

I make pictures, write stuff, think about things. The bills get paid by a job somewhere else. this is the other part.

Rooms that outlived their use. Signs shouting to be seen. Rolls of black-and-white. People I love. Sometimes I write a lot; mostly I don't.
