From scratch, never from scratch
Bubble bed tales: A layer of cardboard, shredded exams, well-moulded sticks, coconut shell, palm fronds, baway husks. Dried long grass. A mix of crumbled builder’s concrete, scraps of plastic, sand, clay, red ochre, white quartz, worms, beetles, grubs and grass roots. Vegetable scraps from Latin fiestas. Larvae. Straw. More of the mix with its remains of an ancient lakebed by the Mossman River and Kubirri / Marr’s Creek, lowland vine rainforest, sugarcane paddock and house-building, all of which came from the same ground as beneath the bed. Layered beds. Layered natural histories. Recursively cycling stories.
