Friends with Drinks is a worldwide creative collaboration mapping drinking & place set-up by Kathryn Hummel in Adelaide, as part of her digital writer-in-residence gig at SA Writers’ Centre, 2016.

This is my contribution, taken from labels on wine bottles on our wine racks right now, the names of growers, owners, makers, dedicatees, mostly from McLaren Vale and Clare Valley, some are friends, some we’ve come to know from 30 years of enjoying their cellar door hospitality, some are long gone…

One of five international finalists for the 2016 Carbon Culture Poetry Film contest, accidentals (recalculated) uses the symbols of mathematics to explore the probability that accidents do happen, if you slip and fall, fly too close to the sun, if your car runs off the road, if you cut your finger, miss a secret assignation, catch (or not) a slip of the tongue, when words fail, when all you have left is abstraction, operators, a lasting approximation, a mathematician’s code…

I contributed an installation piece called Syntaxin: Kiss and Run, and two videos called Situs Inversus, one for an internal LED screen (which you can see here, with audio), and one, a special projection project (watch it here), on a huge window of the SW corner of the Convention Centre, along with one by Meg Cowell.

“Chandelier” installed at Flinders Uni Student Hub

The Chandelier is one of the works I did with Deb Jones and Catherine Truman for the Microscope Project in 2014. It was acquired by Flinders University and installed above the main stairwell at the entrance to their new Student Hub. Here is an excellent little video that Flinders made about the installation.

Featured audio

Here are two pieces I did for Paroxysm Press (S)Mash It Up at the Adelaide Fringe Festival 2016. Toxicology  is a tribute to Britney Spears’ Toxic and Take Away is a tribute to Janis Joplin’s Take Another Piece of My Heart. The music is mine, but built from the chord patterns of the original songs.
