SCENE: You are looking for a scene change. Maybe somewhere closer to the sea. Do they call that TV show 'Sea Change'?
SCENE CHANGE: You are looking for a small change. Looking for small change, you are parking your car. You don't want to pay, but you don't want to walk that far either.
SCENE CHANGE: You are looking for a cool change. You know that breeze that blows in. But you never liked the cool anyway. Maybe you're waiting for a warm change. Warm daze.
SCENE CHANGE: You are taking a chance, maybe a change. Maybe making a change. Maybe changing the way you make so you make for yourself. Do you make for yourself?
SCENE CHANGE: You are a blanket over someone's knees being crocheted and you begin to exist even as this maker takes the very first stitch.
SCENE: You are looking for a scene change. Maybe somewhere closer to the sea. Do they call that TV show 'Sea Change'?
[SCENE CHANGE]
Crocheted in the shape of your face I begin to see why creaselines are appearing all around my eyes.
Handmade in the shape of the belly that sleeps alone in the dark, you are like a womb to me; the shape I am cast.

(Good news: good review)
Taking the train to meet someone in the city; meeting someone at a cafe to discuss art-making, possibly a collaborative project — success in our bellies! We hope that we'll get paid for this installation, we hope that we'll get some recognition, maybe we'll get a good review.
(Give me the grant)
I haven't been successful with my applications lately, getting them in on time but repeatedly getting the bad news at the end of the month. I don't want to get a day job, I don't want to get a real job. Give me some good news.

Slow day, Purposeful Lady
Slow day, Purposeful Lady
Water glasses all around the room
Leave her to her devices
She could swallow your ego for breakfast!
Nutrtition, hydration: she is a responsible drinker!
She could manage a difficult situation with poise and ease
But she hasn't got time for your problems!
(Leave me to myself)
Slow day, Purposeful Lady: get out of her way
Slow day, Purposeful Lady: get out of her way
Slow day, Purposeful Lady (woman with a purpose): get out of her way

Great Statue WA, Australia
Based in Boorloo on unceded Whadjuk Noongar boodja, in so-called Perth, Australia.
The great statue
usually appears as a well-slicked, androgynous Laurie-Anderson-wannabe, lit from beneath by a cheap disco light, holding a bush chook in one hand, mic in the other: some strange karaoke performance of the classics you've never heard.
