Outpost Festival, Cockatoo Island, Sydney.


was really good. There were a few artworks by Banksy hanging in the gallery in the first image, I would love his work (or a print if they exist) of "throw flowers not bombs". The installation by Kid Zoom of his child hood house, a bunch of smashed up cars and a film is really good, but most of all I'm fond of works by Shida

Resolutions


There's never a bad time to make resolutions! I've been thinking about a few things I want to do (and don't want to do!)

I want to:

  • Use less plastic - Harder than it sounds, even when you buy fresh fruit you place them in plastic bags, bulk buying beans -> comes in plastic. I was somewhat inspired by this. I have already started by purchasing some bamboo toothbrushes which are biodegradable which can be seen here
  •  Op Shopping - only buy things I will use, ignore the potential of selling it online (I find online selling a pain in the butt)
  • Re-purpose - make an effort to repurpose things such as second hand dresses, photo frames, housewares
  • Stop drinking tea - It's one of those things that is enjoyable in the moment but leaves you feeling icky, the taste in your mouth, acidity, soy milk...gross. I will however keep drinking green tea and coffee!
  • Eat Less Sugar - I eat practically no cane sugar as it is, but I do still have two sugars in my coffee, I must get that down to none!
  • Get my Conservation on - Everyone has causes they are drawn to, for some people it's starving children, for some it's cancer research, for me it's conservation of environments and animal protection. I want to hone in on a few that I can lend my time to
  • Use facebook less - something we could all do.

Anna-Wili Highfield


In love with her paper sculptures. She uses ink, watercolour, cotton papers and cotton thread as the materials for most of her works. This is the kind of art I want in my future home.
