Difficult to unknit the fabric.
I shy away from showing the relics, but I cannot help if this is what I saw.
Wrapped in valley
Black coffee and apple trees.
The cold held us every night. We thawed out in the sun.

Arms stretched wide, the desert can only be benevolent.
But for our thirst and its erosion.

Delicate to escape.
Dusty hands.
Over colour. Over there.
I watched from the opposite bank.

A bridge runs through it.
Busy feet. A gust of perfume.
Don't look down.
there is another place on the tracks, others call home.

Traces of alone. Un-alone
Climb. Un-climb

A cow stops with us.
It might have been days that this desert stood still.
Then the wind rattles.
We all wait, unless we are sleeping.
Then one gets up and leaves.
But as his head rolls forward I almost missed it.
As the instant dissipated, the moment stayed.
This collection of images was used as a starting point for my artist book , first a tribute to Henri Cartier-Bresson's Images à la Sauvette.
It was selected in a competition to be exhibited at the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation. Later a second version was created for the ABBE (Artist Book Brisbane Event). Finally, the book was purchased by the Queensland State Library for permanent exhibit.
