What I’m Doing Now

Last Updated – 2026年7月24日

Focus

At the moment my main creative output is writing. I blog here. There are several person essays out on submission. And I am working on an extended piece of fiction.

Studio Life

I use various artistic practices, music, photography, calligraphy, in order to explore the theme of living well. I’m fascinated by the way people adapt to life in different places, by the culture and traditions, art and music they create to express themselves and give meaning to their lives. And I’m often wondering, if freedom is so important then we why don’t we admire artists more? After all their life is defined by the pursuit of freedom.

Health

I’m increasingly attentive to what it means to age well. Especially after some recent health issues and following on from a very challenging few months in 2025.

Peregrination

I divide my time between Adelaide, and the Japanese alps. I have gardens in both places. And am crafting my own personal calendars based on the seasons and migrations of animals I observe in both places. This constant slow movement shapes how I understand work and life right now.

Catharsis

My yearly theme for 2026 is Catharsis. So far this year it feels liberating and creatively exciting to approach each day in an emotion-forward way that centres my own moral values and values my own lived experience.

Caring

My whole adult life has been defined by caring practices. I was heavily involved in church community projects in my twenties. Then I became a parent. And now I care regularly for my aging father.
