measuring the passing

of time via my watch strap tan line

dribbling dry

lately,

I have noticed that my nails grow more rapidly when I’m hung over,

Fingernails made of alcohol toxins

Excreted by my body

Continuously collecting ingredients for a hypothetical spell

Digging, excavating, swamp breathing

Invisibleintimate

My shoes feel like they are digesting my feet and also themselves

Thinking about: wearing/holding something for one year to distil it with the

essence of yourself & then passing it on to someone u love

Overview

Swamp Breathing was a collaborative exhibition by John Brooks and Audrey Tan. The exhibition was accompanied by the poem save all the soft things* by Panda Wong.

Opening: 8 Apr 2021, 8am–10am

This program takes place on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded - this land is stolen land. We pay respects to Wurundjeri Elders, past, present and emerging, to the Elders from other communities and to any other Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders who might encounter or participate in the program.
