absurd?


Some small, very very quick sketches that i did of the presenters at a 'Theatre of the Absurd' seminar this afternoon at the Malthouse. I got sick of taking notes, so I drew the guys. I figure that if I draw pictures of them I will be able to remember them more fully and thus remember what they said far better.

The seminar itself was interesting...Absurdism is a rather fascinating style of theatre. Existensialism is a little depressing I suppose, with everything being useless and God being dead and all. The style itself is illogical and senseless and quite accurately reflects our broken forms of humanity. Absurd - sad - kind of darkly funny.

I'm looking forward to seeing the piece that the seminar was focussed around... and luckily I get to do exactly that in just over two weeks when I get to go see Geoffrey Rush in 'Exit the King'. Yay!

Russian Dolls


And with the entry of a new journal...she's back!

I'm aiming to create at least one double paged journal collage/art/writing each week, possibly more often. I will post the results here...

Anyway, this is my first spread in the wonderful new journal. The words that have been circled (or in this case squared?) on the right page are: beautiful together in spirit.

welcome back 'A Little Bit Suss'
