Oceans is a 2009 film by Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud, narrated by the handsome Pierce Brosnan. Although you can only hear him. It took 4 years to film all the material needed to make 'Oceans'. Watching this documentary is music to our ears and a total and absolute pleasure to watch. I highly recommend it for all young and older public. Below are some exerts of the commentary read by Pierce Brosnan. A little bit at a time new forms of life ripple the waters of the world, spreading and multiplying adapting and evolving Pollution runs out of rivers spilling (as can be seen by satellite) We have littered the oceans with hundreds of thousands of trash spilling poison around.

Every Breath We Take Every Drop We Drink Depends on a Healthy Ocean

There it is the dismantling of a 3 weeks show and we are please and feel that the exhibition Regurgitate. It certainly allowed people to enter our realm of interest, in pausing, for a moment, their thoughts to things they may not have seen, thought of ... or were indifferent to All plastic items in the show were found on the beach Human indifference is the worse thing that can happen and in a way that is  where we have come to in this super fast world The oceans are polluted by our plastic and consumer waste that will never disappear .... until.....  we take responsibility in  create recycling plants through out the world but first thing first,  How about in Australia!!! We need to use less plastic and replace it with items that are made of metal or glass  and that are recyclable  Painting on canvas behind mobile of purified bottles utilised by drug addicts Spoons and lids from drink pop-up bottles And the more...

REGURGITATE Carolyn Cardinet and Janita Ryan The Library Artspace www.thelibraryartspace.blogspot.com Wednesday 06 March 2013 to Saturday 23 March 2013 Opening Wednesday 06 March 2013 6-8pm !!Come and regurgitate!! Carolyn Cardinet and Janita Ryan regurgitate the flotsam and jetsam spewed onto the City of Port Philip shoreline between 2011 and 2012. This gleaned debris is reprocessed, decontextualized from its original purpose and reframed to take on new meaning. Cardinet’s large monochromatic paintings hanging from the gallery’s beams are a strong contrast to Ryan’s miniature egg tempera works.

Plenty to think of and plenty to do with 2 shows next year and a trip to the US to organise How wonderful to be on this new journey after 2 years swallowed by self knowledge and self discovery together with the most interesting studies yet to date. Thank you RMIT MFA team I really enjoyed this amazing journey that led and allowed me to step into my dream of pursuing a 3 dimensional art practice.

In Memoriam 2 @ Gossard Space This installation of single use cardboard packaging used to transport art stretchers is painting with mistints from Bunnings The idea of this project is to use the overlooked. Many items  has been regarded as not worthy by Western society. The sad truth is that yet we produce more, when we already have plenty to use and choose from.
