8o's chic

This is Yandell Walton and Linda Jackson
at the Fluoresce residency at NGV studio
looking at Linda's images of her amazing life:

Linda has a show upsatirs in the NGV called Bush Couture
but what is really great are her visits to our space.
After an afternoon of her catalogued images
of freedom and vitality
as well as awe inspiring fashion
I was totally nourished and ready to start anew.

big breath out and breath in new life...ahhhh!

the small things...

Today I received a wonderful gift ..

"each individual sprout is a little life
full of possibility and opportunity"

Thank you sweet Jessie who sprouted these green lentils
and gifted them on to me. Thank you very much
when I ate them I was restored instantly. XXX

Gifted

Here is the lovely Aya
Aya is from Japan
She is a wonderful cook
She used to make for the store,
green tea muffins filled with red bean paste
or pumpkin, she would use black sesame seeds
and a by product of tofu in her mix.
I have never ever tasted anything like the food she makes
her gift is something else..



Today she came in with a gift for Tony
She is moving with her partner who is french
and also chef, over the river to the north side of town
closer to her work. We will miss them both.


Her gift is 'the trio tribet'
from 'Zakkaya on Johnson street'.

A perfect example of Japanese simplicity and design.
It's for hot dishes, kettles, tea pots, pots etc.
Three pieces of wood tied together with leather
expandable for any size dish.
Just perfect for someone who drinks pots and pots of tea
and who serves up pots and pots of food
to anyone who enters his home.

Thank you Aya.
