Text for Emily Yeonsoo Jung, Erin Ginty and Lois Wills exhibition reflections dart across the room, a glimmer of light touches sugar, drips to fuse in its sticky tack to a damp threshold, fixed slump, wet slump, hot slump at Caves, Melbourne

Slide through the opening

Replace the LED with incandescence

Remove the shoe

Talk through the gap in the door

Let moss drag hair underground

Delete the luxury

Insert the forest

Loosen the valve

Carry the gift from room to room

Allow the residue to settle

Listen to the hinges

Forget the ceiling

Wick the longing

Breathe through the fabric

Leave the print on the glass

Back up the original

Let the stink ant climb

Watch the memories seep

Slough the charcoal

Cross-reference the grief

Calcify what’s reoccurring

Coagulate the atmosphere

Discern the source

Rename the loss

Feel follicles breathe

Let the right one in

Draw the blinds

Yield to the grain

Contaminate the archive

Annotate the residue

Cauterise the mood

Redact what the body said

Text for Caspar Connolly,  Joseph  Doggett-Williams and Olivia Guardiani's exhibition Everything Paste at Mega, Sydney

Introduce the Gung

Prime the Tulu-metal

Seed the Hyperfilament

Inoculate the Betaphenethylamine

Plant the Oobleck

Apply the Scrith

Spread the Condamine

Slather the Shoggoths

Smear the Nitrolabe

Daub the BeauToxique

Coat the Pyro

Glaze the Mediatrons

Lacquer the Blanketrol

Varnish the Ice-nine

Shellac the Sperk

Laminate the Trellium

Brush the Nuke

Swab the Thionite

Wipe the Dreamshit

Trickle the Allotropic Iron

Inject the Slowtime

Infuse the Denner Resin

Inhale the Camorifib

Pump the Substance D

Plunge the Black Thunder

Spray the Somnabsolute

Atomise the Adamantium

Nebulise the Paracetco

Diffuse the Benignimizers

Vaporise the Harmonium

Breathe the Chew-Z

Imbibe the Goofjuice

Absorb the Porgee

Swallow the Inoson

Gulp the Tiberium

Chew the Glasliq

Suck the Softnow

Bind the CPH4

Affix the Quicken

Bond the Moloko Plus

Fuse the Bavadinium

Charge the Forgettol

Load the Smart Coral

Dose the Altruizine

Saturate the Inerton

Culture the Drill

Graft the Colour

Pollinate the Nostalgia

Embed the PyrE

Encrust the Can-D

Enrobe the Bentlam

Pour the Winnow

Drip the White Noise

Douse the Nanosites

Dust the Juice

Mist the Black Meat

Assimilate the Ceramite

Metabolise the The Black Oil

Permeate the Betathanatine

Soak the Red Ramrod

Fumigate the BlyssPluss

Aerosolise the Cheery-Gum

Masticate the Spice

Smoke the Antagonil

Text For Michael Kennedy's solo exhibition Despair Spring at Caves, Melbourne

 

Count the surrogates

Make the playlist

Invent the room sheet

Bear in mind romanticism

Repeat the gesture

Forge the feeling

Locate the soundtrack

Speed up the tribute

Print the document

Obscure the origins

Put the feelings away

Return to the beginning

Disguise the whereabouts

Knockoff the bootleg

Remove the work

Gather scattered clues

Strip out the piety

Archive the screen

Mockup what you found

Polish the edges

Modify the middle

Restore the sensation

Pirate the mood

Eavesdrop on the appearance

Induce the premonition

Assemble the copies

Warm up the doubt

Take in the parallel

Mind the word count
