These are the things that percolate away, waiting for exploration. These obsessions are often decades old. I guess the time will come to see them edge their way into expression.

I’ve had the enormous pleasure of creating videoclips for the music of Stewart Wauchop in the last few months.

Stewart is my brother-in-law. He’s pursued a creative career all his life and now at nearly 80 has produced several albums of his music, written and recorded over the last 50 years.

AI is supporting us both to realise some projects long left on the back burner.

For me, I get to create video again—a form I loved working with many years ago. Stewart’s music is meaningful for me so it’s a joyful process.

Some of the videos I’ve made have dance elements and I can see how I can wrangle the bot to create animations and dance videos in the future.

The soul army (Make America Go Away)

Apologies to my friends in America.

America, you sold your soul to the devil.

In a few short months America has lost its identity and may yet go through some heinous hell beyond economic pain, who knows for how long?

You (those surrendering sycophants) are a proven Kakistocracy. The rest of the democratic world is in awe, and not the good kind.

Humans around the globe who still possess their souls are standing together against you.

The soul army 1 (WIP) April 2025

Recent events in America are influencing election campaigning in Australia leading up to our May 3 federal election. Both major party leaders and the media have been treading carefully around the Trump self-sabotage machine.

Australian Conservatives who jumped on the hard-right bandwagon are now leaping off and scattering in confusion and disarray. Opposition leader Dutton is in mid-leap and he looks very awkward. Not a graceful jeté, more like an embarrassing belly flop into the dust.

Suddenly, sacking tens of thousands of public servants, dismantling the education department and starting a war on woke looks unwise, doesn’t it Mr Dutton?

I’m getting a bit tired of having to voice political opinion here.

But lots of voices are needed now, and minds, and intelligence, and sanity.

Stay sane 🌸
