I live and write in Narrm/Melbourne.
Read the latest post, “A lifetime of soap”, or see the blog archive.
I recently traced the path of eels from the edge of an airport through to drains and ponds, the inland segment of their vast migration route.
It took little pretext for me to cart a wheelbarrow of rocks three days to the nearest volcano.
I’ve circumnavigated Malta by foot, and written of its history in two essays: Sun Letters and Bajtar Paradise. The islands even found their way into a zine on wormwood.
Last year, I walked around the city of bees. I’m (slowly) visiting every crossing over the Yarra. I went on a fictional bike tour via Street View. A cluster of my brain cells map the Pamirs. And I’m obsessed with confluences, beginning with a storm-harried attempt on 47°N 102°E.
Some digital experiments include an ode to Archimedes, a birdsong translator, a choose-your-own poem, a forum for neural networks, concrete animals, novels that decompose and hallucinate, and a pair of esoteric drum machines.
