[22:54, 7/18/2017] +61 402 443 240: It also is kind of about the weird ways your brain tries to cope with anxiety and depression. For instance it’s kind of ridiculous to think that I would be able to manage the upkeep of a pool when I could barely send an email

[22:55, 7/18/2017] +61 402 443 240: But I pretty much avoid all of my problems

[22:55, 7/18/2017] +61 402 443 240: By fixating on doing fun things

[22:55, 7/18/2017] +61 402 443 240: Bit too much yolo not enough fixing up the one life

[22:57, 7/18/2017] +61 402 443 240: But it’s not really meant to be a serious work. It’s kind of a playful way to look back in hindsight and say that’s a bit crazy but thank god I’m able to get out of bed

[22:59, 7/18/2017] +61 402 443 240: And that ties into a general trend in my practice of situating my works somewhere in the interstitial spaces between painting/representative and object based art

[23:03, 7/18/2017] +61 402 443 240: Okay, wtf is Ed Sheeran doing in game of thrones?

[23:03, 7/18/2017] +61 402 443 240: I just… what?
