e.e. cummings reads 'anyone lived in a pretty how town'
One of my absolutely favourite poems read by the man himself....
This is your Captain speaking...
No, you are not going mad, but you can expect some upper level turbulence as the blog formerly known as Bob Georgeson morphs into the new (and singular) anonymous waves website. All the previous content is still here, and I will gradually absorb all the good stuff from the soon to be defunct a/w site. Despite previous thoughts, maintaining two websites was taking up too much valuable time, and time is of the essence if we are to reach our destination on schedule. Apologies if there is confusion, a few hiccups with subscriptions, or bookmarked pages. All the links should in theory still work. And if you choose to leave now just remember we are at 28,000 feet above the Tasman Sea...
Force Field
Bob Georgeson, Force Field #1, 2014, Digital print
Been a definite lull in posts this month while I have been working on an exciting collaborative project, which will have to remain an enigma for the moment, but I did manage to whip this one off between planning and experimentation with my collaborators, and offending arts professionals in my spare time.

The Problem with Modern Art #1
Bob Georgeson, Cellular, Date unknown, Photomontage
I had started a whole series of works ages ago under the 'loose' banner of 'The Problem with Modern Art' which referred to my frustration (and annoyance) every time I picked up a copy of Art Forum or a similar art publication and saw what some artists were getting away with (in some cases very successfully!). I describe this kind of art as 'easy', in that it requires little skill or intellect to realize. 'If they can do it then so can I' became the mantra, albeit a bittersweet if not wholly immature sentiment...
But, every now and then I am looking for something and stumble across these never exhibited works and think 'Hey, it doesn't look all that bad!'. And this one has some elements of things I am currently interested in. But I better not give away too much lest you think that I am serious...
