︎︎︎

damp Narcissus, pocket trick mirror, memento mori tattoo

immortal romances, every sound spoken through the harp, French sensuality, chaos blooming, renaissance hands

pyrex glassware or sensory deprivation tank, refrigerator, epsom salts, rare seedlings

magic circle, babushka doll hands, cling wrap, surgical gloves, fake bones, satellite camera 

superglue, stitches

tightrope, prayers

godlike lips tunnel to godlike chests, molten light in a drinking bowl, $2 shop halo, an act of deus ex machina

escape key, press X to enter 

oversized hoodie, attitude of raspberry sorbet, 180 degree oven for baked clay collectibles, sterling silver belly button charm

folded paper in pocket until it disintegrates, torchlight under doona, purple invisible ink pens, text disappearing machine, wax encasings, coffins

ultra steam, finger on condensation, time jump, waterproof bible

agility elixirs, acrobatic tendancies, the impulse for flight, the seduction of water 

hanging swords and unreadable scripts, a forgotten magic eyeglass, the clock pendulum - a sun face 

white rose in left hand, eyes closed to follow a new warmth of light, of winds hushing the word SELAH

The birds this morning sounded violent. The kisses in my dreams were youthful. Temporary glows and soft reckonings.

a large atmospheric sigh

metal robot puma, digtial oracle, synthetic emporiums, Erik Davis’ Techgnosis and my body to interface with the minerals, transclucence 

an immortal dinner party, moonlight, Marie Antoinette rendezvous, tea gardens, tiny knives 

obsession, glass abstinthe fountain, blue ink on my bedsheets, a wall of found objects that I have engraved with poetry

overwhelmed in the opulence of something so exactly, breathlessness 

book of archetypes, the four elements, a blessing force 

shirtlessness, the Sade song, a rose in the mouth, a salamander drawn on the centre of my chest 

A list of performance art pieces I will never make* 
*due to the impossibility of their physics, fear, lack of funding, the laws of private property, inconsistent Melbourne weather, avoidance of my own body in such visual/tangible/lucid/fragile states, threat of arrest, distractions of labour, the complexities of cloning technologies, likelihood of death.


a shipwreck, a recording of my lover reading exerpts of Agua Viva aloud, summoning similar spells, “I adore the feeling of devotion”

a medieval apothecary, incense, gasoline, an Opera singer, a river

volcano omens, re-enchanting, a manifesto of 

teenage medusa wasteland, peak bacchant hour, smoke and cars 

Bosch gardens and new kingdoms, psalms found in an erupted sky, pomegrante rain 
 











steampunk inventory, Borges’ book of imaginary animals

delusional architecture, unfolding toybox theatre, hand of God

a healer, Rilke’s Book of Hours, the Cocteau Twins, a baptism, private heavens 




waiting for secret music, unearthing love notes, I attach wings to my ears 












Oracle bones
