Margins

Margins by Sarah Rice

I’ve got a strong centre
but uncertain edges.
I would, for instance,
be hard to colour in.

It would be best
if I were to become heritage-listed,
like a national park,
under some sort of order of protection.

For fences work both ways,
as Frost showed,
and life in the margins tends to be in pencil,
and all the more easily erased. 


This poet has some awesome talent.

Out live your Tupperware Warranty. Go On!


Down at the Godinymayin Yijard Rivers Arts and Culture Centre today for a bit of public art practice. I feel sorry for this space because it is not being used by the towns people only when an a exhibition or show is on. So my plan is to go there at least once a week to do some art on site. Its such a beautiful space and shame for them to run air-conditioning for a couple of people who might rock up to look at the exhibition or check the shop out.

Theres a girl there looking after the shop who came out just as I was leaving and I stated to her Im so sad for this space not being used to its fullest capacity and told Simmone I am now the artist in residence. Cheeky bitch!!! In the theme of things not being used to there fullest extend I got on to one of my pet subject telling Caroline that Thermomix has turned me into a chief. I said to her "I know I should like a Thermomix Consultant but Im just so thankful that when things live up to and exceed my expectations I can't hold it in". "Yeah", says Caroline "I love my Tupperware" "I agree" I said and telling her I am trying to get plastics out of my life as much as possible I would choose Tupperware first, then blurting out "Out live your Tuppeware Warranty. Go On!" Well this started her chuckling and I was glad to see a smile on her face.

These are the sort of conversations you get in arty farty spaces and make life exciting........
