Why? Why is she crying? Has she been hurt? Has she been burned by love? Has she been tormented? Or is she the tormentor …

I always knew that the RedBubble team had a big job on their hands. But recently, various piles around the office have been tipping me off as to just how big a job it is… / This is the board where I pin up all the cool ideas people add to the Feedback and Suggestions Forum and then refer to for ongoing nagging to get what we all want :) / ...and the ones that didn’t fit on the board! / Then Pete tells me that 2585 sales notifications went out in March and Group Activity is growing and growing / Just cleaning up Ed’s desk could be a 5 person job / We’re always trying out new products which results in the Bub Hub being taken over with samples ready to be played with and debated over. / And Peter has a more emails than I can count to deal with – 4294965818 to be precise. That explains why he never gets back to me. Sometimes finding the time to get through all the great ideas can be overwhelming, but it’s worth it. And it’s so satisfying to see artists and writers sharing their creativity. The staff may not be able to make magic happen overnight, but it’s inspiring to work with a bunch of people who are so focussed on helping artists connect with one another and sell their work. Jo

I am more / than the sum of these wounds, / though they threaten to engulf me. / Yet sometimes, the wounds seem greater than I, / and they drag me back into / the raw and ragged edges of memory, / where pain casts a dark shadow beside me. / Within me the hands of fate have carved / a well so deep that at times there seems / NO way out, / and I claw the walls with bleeding hands and cry for release. Is this all I am? / Is this the meaning to my existence? / Is this what I came here for? Deep within I hear the whisper that tells me to look, / there IS more. / This self same well that struggles to contain my sorrow and incubate my fears, is the same vessel that would hold all my love, / even all the love of this world, / and emanate an effervescent light of joy from its depths. / Yet I pass through it without realizing I have been a prisoner / of my own choosing. How doggedly we hollow out this well, and fill ourselves with what we know, or think we do, / how blindly we allow it to define who we are, / and sound out the rhythm of our being…. / but as deep as the pain cuts darkly, / and the wound gouges out a hollow so black, / so much deeper is that place within that might burst with love and joy, an empty space resounding with potential / and the promise of healing and truth. / IF only we could realize we are more, / than that which we let overwhelm us. I was walking through the forest and saw a red glow ahead of me in the shadows….. there was a bright red circle on a fallen tree and it drew me to it. I could not believe how bright this red wound was, on this tree, a gaping, raw, bloody hole, and it made me weep inside for all living things. This is the sight, the image, that made me think more about my own woundedness, and perhaps the wounds that we all carry and too often lose ourselves in. /

This is one of the flowers from my trip to the Zoo. I see the light to you my love its rays come down to me. / I sit an wait for you to come as you smile down on me. / I stumble in my mind each day for one moments hope. / That you will come down from above and kiss me once again. / I wait and wait I see you there your rays give me new hope. / I know your smiling down on me but a kiss is what I want. / I want to feel you in my arms the way I use to feel. / And then look in your stunning eyes and kiss your lips again. / I wait until I go to sleep to come to you each night. / But well aware that this is a dream the pain is twice as bad. / I wish for comfort from this pain that I might live again. / But each night that I go to sleep this dream with you brings pain. / I wake my pillows always stained with tears from missing you. / I wish that it was you that lived and me that should of died.

To describe my painting I have chosen an excerpt from the written work, Venus and Adonis by William Shakespeare ...”Never did passenger in summer’s heat / More thirst for drink than she for this good turn. / Her help she sees, but help she cannot get; / She bathes in water, yet her fire must burn: / ‘O! pity,’ ‘gan she cry, ‘flint-hearted boy: / ‘Tis but a kiss I beg; why art thou coy?...” A hearty thanks to my friend Rebecca Cruz who let me paint her lovely photo titled Koi / Her gallery is wonderful and full of bold, colorful and beautiful work!

Pastel on Colourfix sanded paper (burgundy) – 70cm x 50cm There is a radio program in Australia called ‘Macca on a Sunday Morning’, which explores all aspects of this country. There is a segment in it called ‘Why I live where I live’, and it got me thinking about where I live. I did this painting as part of a solo exhibition (‘My Easel and Eye’) which was held in 2005 and this was the first painting that was sold. Yesterday morning was a glorious autumn morning, and I went for my early morning walk. This same area of the bush looked exactly like this painting!

Bedlam heartburn / A series where I try to approace the fear of insanity. I believe that this fear is collective and that we all have to face it sometime, one way or another. Yesterday i went to the hospital and got an MR scan (Magnetic Resonance x-ray) to figure out where my headaches comes from. / So this is how i look with a brain / (that sometimes hurt) :o Composite MR scan and selfportrait Inspired by Pink Floyd-Brain Damage/Eclipse Lyrics / The lunatic is on the grass / The lunatic is on the grass / Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs / Got to keep the loonies on the path The lunatic is in the hall / The lunatics are in my hall / The paper holds their folded faces to the floor / And every day the paper boy brings more And if the dam breaks open many years too soon / And if there is no room upon the hill / And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too / Ill see you on the dark side of the moon The lunatic is in my head / The lunatic is in my head / You raise the blade, you make the change / You re-arrange me till Im sane / You lock the door / And throw away the key / Theres someone in my head but its not me. And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear / You shout and no one seems to hear / And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes / Ill see you on the dark side of the moon / —-—-—-—-—- Thank you ! / ...roy

Part Of my 2:14am Series Self Portrait It was 2:14am, I was on my way home but Had a slight craving for a smoke, I didn’t want to go home and waste the Amazing Misty night we were having so I went to the park round the corner. I don’t sleep so I stayed there for an hour or so, 20minutes of taking shots, 40 of just sitting, thinking about life and its incomprehensible way of functioning.

Seriously! / It sometimes hurts my brain when I think about Purposes, Purposes for anything and everything, actions, existence, life, heat, gravity or whatever. / I always end on the same thought. There is none, or at least none that our minds can comprehend. We just live to die and leave either a Bank Account, or Debts to be paid for the next, and they don’t learn and do the same when its their turn to come, its inevitable. / One day I hope to not believe this and either not care “Why?”, or find another answer that I can believe, or at least pretend to beleive. But my mind does not behave itself, It fixates on what I don’t want to think about, Death, War, Hate, Love, Sickness, health, Space, God, Human Nature, creation, Obliteration…....... / / If you try to imagine your Existence a decade before your birth, and I mean really try, Where are you in this time? / If your mind starts to hurt, you are probably feeling what I feel when I think about this.
