so long and thanks for all the fish

well, it was nothing like Project Mayhem, but a certain friend and i went out and caused a wee bit of arty mischief around wollongong yesterday evening.

i've always wanted to put some art up around the joint, so we did.

jj kelly park now looks a little bit more, shall we say, modified.




otherwise known as 'the pod cage', but in some of the images i took, also looks like a sophisticated laser target. whatever floats your boat.


given the wild weather over the last couple of days, i'm hoping it's still up, but i'm pretty sure these flowers didn't make it through the night.

but then, that's half the fun innit?

i could have created more mischief. made it extremely political (like made something that looks a little more like a guantanemo cage) or something completely anti-social, like a huge fuck-off dildo, but for the moment, i just wanted to put something up a little kooky. a little bit out of the ordinary and something a little bit fun. i make serious art, but it's got to be a bit fun in there too, otherwise it's boring as fuck and really doesn't say anything anyway.



so i'm going to do a few more little cheeky things around this town before i leave. i hope the residents of this crazy town think of it as a parting gift. i'll keep you all updated with some pics.
