Whilst the exhibition ended several weeks ago I thought i would post some pics from the Little Deities exhibition that was curated by Daniel Atkinson; a good mate of ours. Whilst ashamedly we couldn’t make it to the opening night, we made sure to check out the exhibition before it closed. Asking one self what is worthy of worship is a question best left up to the contributing artists. With so many gods on offer one can really shop around. Whilst indeed some had better accessories than others I was very excited to find the god of good times; I cannot tell you how long I have been looking for a God who understands whats really important. Congrats again Dan & Simone, cant wait to see what you guys do next.

So as i plan to visit New York city for the first time i think of Melbourne and where it will be in the future and what we can do now to shape this great city. Lots for me to ponder. New York City I’m counting down the days …
