TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR OWN FRESH FOOD SUPPLY!

“Food gardening is the most intellignet adult endeavour on earth”, says Lolo Hobein, in her book called One Magic Square.(see link below). The whole premise of the book, is, even if you have never grown a radish, the best and cheapest food is the food you grow in your own earth, on a single metre. Even though you may well be busy, a metre is a sinch to tend. ANYONE can do it. go for it!

Anyway, here is my magic metre. I love gardening. Not just for the tasty food, but also for the sensory delight i get from observing the constantly changing patterns of texture and colour. I believe, that if EVERYONE had a small patch, there would seriously be a lot less mental illness in the world. It keeps you balanced! have a good day!

A MEAN PAIR OF JEANS!

The original intent was to find a beautiful pair of shoes for Mr Singh. Men’s shoes were rather tedious..all looked like grandpas old slippers. Such small choice! The outcome was no shoes for Mr Singh, but he is so good to me, and bought me these awesome green jeans. I am sure that Frida Kahlo would have worn such jeans if she was around today! I resisted the temptation to go for red, and went for green, as i knew it would work so well with my favourite red sandals. and that’s just for a start.

THIS IS MY VISUAL LANDSCAPE. THE PLACE WHERE I RECORD PONDERINGS, SITINGS, MEETINGS AND OTHER HAPPENINGS.

I am an ethnographer, illustrator, publisher, graphic designer and educator. I am interested in telling stories with pictures.

I have just written, illustrated and published "What the Hell is Your Problem?" A Kit for Uptight White People.

If you click on the kit in the links section, you can check it out!

I lectured for six years at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. I also have a graduate Diploma in Education, and a Masters in Cross Disciplinary Design.
I have taught Communication Design at private colleges, and set up the inaugural Communication Design Program for the Box Hill Institute in Kuwait. Most of my past professional design work has involved designing identities for grass roots organisations, such as community health centres, and the Brotherhood of St Laurence.

I am interested in the developing role of Design as an agent for positive social change, around which I centred my final masters project, by designing a "kit for uptight white people", to raise civil engagement.
