The unearthing of women’s history from within the unruly, tangled Australian bush is the crux of my new exhibition of photo-media and installation work ‘The Carousel of Invisibility’ opening June 14th 2025 @ Muswellbrook Regional Art Centre. Pictured: Video still, see image for details.
Video still from a digital video combining landscape imagery of the Australian bush layered with B&W analogue, in-camera double exposed photographs. Light and time sweep through the Australian bush looking to expose traces of untold women’s stories. The elusive Lady Bushranger Jessie Hickman appears in the tangled forest.
Artworks for this upcoming exhibition ‘The Carousel of Invisibility’ are darkroom, hand printed, b&w analogue photography along with digital video projections. Surprisingly for me, there is a smattering of AI in one of the moving imagery works. This photomedia will be interspersed with an assemblage of found objects gleaned from underneath and above the ground of the forests near human settlements in regional NSW.

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

Around this time every year, I share a list of ways to support Native people. From supporting Indigenous people seeking abortion care to defending Native voting rights and keeping Native families together, here are some causes worth supporting. 🧵

In the past 24 hours, Joe Biden secured a ceasefire deal in Lebanon and deal that brought three wrongfully detained Americans home in advance of Thanksgiving. That’s leadership.

1/ We're experiencing a huge influx of users, and with that, a predictable uptick in harmful content posted to the network. As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.

Good. It’s horrific how other platforms abused their reach to strangle local, independent, and national outlets alike. I WANT to see news and actual vetted work and I WANT journalists to get rewarded for it. Because I want to live in a thinking human world over some AI generated slop dystopia

Highly recommended daily dose of sanity!! ECM's broadcasts are packed with legal analysis, tips to spot misinformation, & recommendations for coping with the political insanity including actions you can take now, locally. I have been an avid listener for more than 6 years. Check it out on youtube.

Re: DOGE. Improvements in efficiency are great but I think that misrepresents their goal. It sounds too benign. Should it instead be called Department of Deconstruction of the Administrative State or "DODAS"? Isn't that the goal: Slash & burn it all regardless of importance and efficiency?

Hi Bluesky! This is a new account just for politics and general stuff. I have had another account @hildiebird just for my art since 2023. It sat idle for almost a year. Here's to starting anew. I'm looking for camaraderie in the Resistance to the upcoming federal disaster.
