Performing Fleas

  2 paintings I started last September at the Museum of Fleas with Charles Freyberg, Marguerite Montes, Peter Urquhart and Luke Rogers in one, and the other with Pete again, Alison Marshall, Senti and Charles

I'm getting back to them now as I have another look at the video  from the show and plot ways to tighten it up a bit, and add a flea to any audience member wandering in front of the camera. I'll also be exhibiting these and some other UV paintings at my studio from 17 July - "2020 - the Spark", and also at my rescheduled show "out of the Dark"at Chrissie Cotter Gallery in September(dates soon)

That fluoro flanny shirt is the perfect place for a flea painting to land

This was the view across the road from Rough Edges on Victoria St Darlinghurst yesterday morning when I went up for a coffee and hoping to see Tina Cheong about a show

In the evening I did a few portraits on King St. There's been a bit of a shakeout in the gelato world - Gelatomassi gelato shop has become Messina gelato shop, and all the deus ex machina shirts and bikes have gone. We are past peak gelato.
