Adventures at Storm King
It was great to get out of the city with my brother, Calvin. I had only been in New York for a few days but having visited the city numerous times, I was keen to see something new. Admittedly, I had only known about Storm King Art Centre after watching an episode of the hilarious, culturally on point Netflix show, Master of None season 2. Remember? The … Continue reading Adventures at Storm King
Grandma AL’s Art Month Top 5
In Sydney, the month of March is associated with two things: the end of summer and Art Month. It’s no wonder the two happen in the same month. Nothing like a bit of art to help lift the depressing mood! Art Month is a city-wide festival celebrating local contemporary art and artists through a range of exhibitions, workshops, tours, art nights and talks. What I like … Continue reading Grandma AL’s Art Month Top 5
8 Things I Learnt at Semi-Permanent
A few weeks ago I attended Semi-Permanent, a creative and design conference that brings together international and local designers, artists, techies and creative thinkers to explore the future of design, technology and the world around us.

The church of Badu
A few weeks ago I visited the church of soul singer Erykah Badu. For Badu, music is her religion – a way to connect with something/someone bigger than herself. Mesmerising the crowd with her charismatic storytelling, you believed she had lived every word she sung. Being in a room with a person who is so creatively and spiritually free was liberating for me, especially as … Continue reading The church of Badu
Rebel Rebel
Once in a while I experience a brain explosion – that feeling you get when you’re so excited about something that your mind is blown at the realisation of it. This morning was one of those moments. The wonderful folks behind Sydney’s Creative Mornings have been doing a stellar job rounding up a talented bunch of creative minds to speak at their monthly series of … Continue reading Rebel Rebel
Walls have feelings too
About two weeks ago I escaped Sydney’s wild rainy weather and headed south to Wollongong, only to be greeted by a monsoon. But a little bit of water (actually, it was a sh*t load) didn’t stop the 20 artists who stuck by their walls at the annual Wonderwalls festival. Now in its second year, Wonderwalls is a 3-day street art and graffiti festival consisting of art … Continue reading Walls have feelings too
6 things I learnt from Art Month Sydney
People tend to think that art is for the wealthy. That buying art is somewhat of a snooty past time. And I wouldn’t disagree with those people. But I also happen to believe that art is something everyone can appreciate and enjoy (or not). From the art enthusiasts who love interpreting every bit of detail to the people who just don’t get what all the … Continue reading 6 things I learnt from Art Month Sydney
