Heyyyyyyy.

So around this time yesterday I crossed that threshold from being not sick to being sick. The older I get the more sudden it gets. It's like literally one second you are fine, the next second it's like 'Hey, is there something in my throat?' The second after that? Fuck, it's here. Bodies are so wild like that.

So much like a wild animal that must leave it's pack to find a quiet place to die, I too will make my best physical impression of a Popple, tuck myself into a small furry ball, and then just sook non-stop until my body stops betraying me and falls into line. Here is actual footage of me having a cold in case you want to get a better understanding. (Also how great were Popples?)

Anyway, it's too nice out to have a cold or read about people having colds. It's bloody springtime. Speaking of which, those of you in Melbourne can pop into Lamington Drive on Friday to celebrate the fourth iteration of the Spring-Time exhibition!

Curated by local Melbourne artist Melissa Grisancich, Spring-Time 4 brings together a mixture of emerging, mid-career and established women artists from Australia. It's a super great show. Join us on Friday or check it out for the next few weeks at LD! But not if you're sick. Stay home if you're sick.

Know what else is sick? Fully sick? Yes you do! Don't make me say it - just go on and scrolly scroll.

Spring-Time 4


Lamington Drive is pleased to present Spring-Time, an all womens exhibition in its fourth year, drawing from the broad and extensive theme of the season, Spring.

Curated by local Melbourne artist Melissa Grisancich, Spring-Time 4 brings together a mixture of emerging, mid-career and established women artists from Australia. Showcasing a broad spectrum of painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, printmaking and digital, each artist was selected for their unique style and technique in their chosen medium.

The Gardens

Clear the mind. Feed the process. Jacky Winter Gardens is a creative retreat nestled in a half-acre of natural bushland only 45 minutes from Melbourne. It’s a perfect getaway for solo travellers, couples and small groups.

"The Louvre is a good book to consult, but it must only be an intermediary. The real and immense study that must be taken up is the manifold picture of nature.”
