"Abstraction is staggeringly radical, circumvents language, and sidesteps naming or mere description. It disenchants, re-enchants, detoxifies, destabilizes, resists closure, slows perception,

and increases our grasp of the world."

Tristian Koenig, co-founder of Neon Parc, has branched into an establishment of his own gallery space.

The first exhibition 'Explaining colours to the blind' opened last night and is running until May 7

(Level 1, 18 Ellis Street, South Yarra).

A month of travels with my sister in February...

Curiosity illuminates the correct path to anything in life. If you’re not curious, that’s when your brain is starting to die. And discovering, I think, that’s what separates us from the rest of the other species.
It’s that we discover and pioneer, we don’t forget from whence we came.
Pharrell Williams

"The plant never lapses into mere arid functionalism; it fashions and shapes according to
logic and suitability, and with its primeval force compels everything
to attain the highest artistic form."

Karl Blossfeldt

So quick bright things come to confusion.
Lysander

I do not have any ability to resolve such questions,
I have a Euclidean mind, an earthly mind,
and therefore it is not for us to resolve
things that are not of this world.

Dostoevsky

Your heart is my piñata.
