‘What This Statue Teaches Us About Art, Colonialism, and Ourselves’

Michael Parekōwhai's 'The English Channel' takes the metaphorical role of the viewer literally - providing a singular master class for all storytellers.

😂the answer to every question is "it depends". In this case, you don't have to be a #US #citizen to get a US #amateurradio license, but depending on where you're from, your #US license may not be accepted for credit toward a license in your home country. For example, #Aotearoa only has one license grade and it is equivalent to #US #extraclass. You'll have to sit for an exam in #newzealand if you have #General or #technician class licenses.

@ptoothfish Seconding that the Telly Tuita exhibition is awesome and well worth a look if you’re on the Welly waterfront. I coveted several of them. #nzArt

I'm calling this one "Broken". Kinda sums up the last month - too many challenges, physical and emotional. It's drawn from a reference photo from Karina Zhitkova over on IG. Hope you like it, took me a while to get it 'right'.

I did a few quick doodles and a pen and ink . Not perfect but fun to do.

I am generally kind to bugs and other wee critters. Except for house flies, mosquitos, ants and things that eat my vegetable plants.

I have made it through cyclone Gabrielle without getting flooded again. Miracle of miracles!
now it's at the windy stage again.
Worst summer in my living memory,
While I was on holiday a while back, an artist friend rearranged the stones in my courtyard to make this fern frond. About 5' long. It must have taken some patience!
