I like these, and most of his work. There is a sense of line texture and colour that I like. His smoothing of the world and boldness. It is these qualities I seek in my work.

Instagrams
I’ve been doodling on the iPad, inspired by some Edvard Munch landscapes that I’ll post up in a moment. Nothing really looked right though till I passed my sketch through the Instagram app.
By painting colors and lines and forms seen in quickened mood I was seeking to make this mood vibrate as a phonograph does. This was the origin of the paintings in The Frieze of Life.

Nz in tranzit
Dave Welch, former bus driver and political activist has researched christchurch public transport options for decades. He told me today the proposed light rail system is nonsense. This proposal, creating a loop by extending existing rail, makes far more sense. Following is an item from his blog: http://buswatchnz.blogspot.com/O

Marriage ordeal
  Â
“Marriage is not a simple love affair, it’s an ordeal, and the ordeal is the sacrifice of ego to a relationship in which two have become oneâ€
 Joseph Campbell quotes (American prolific Author, Editor, Philosopher and Teacher, 1904-1987)
Not sure where he said this. Makes good sense, but it is only one part of the story. Whatever ego is may need to be sacrificed for the relationship, for the oneness. But on the other hand fusion has to be refused, and the self has to be found, the adult nurtured into existence and differentiated from the blur.
Two become one and one becomes two.

This is an excellent talk on the nature of the relationship: This is th imago philosophy well presented.

Tariq Ali – Storified
Clearly I was quite impressed by Tariq Ali. And I just followed up with a bit of research on Google and indeed he gets ridiculed in the media. Paul Holms in New Zealand and reviews in the Observer.I’m gathering together what I think might be informative about the man and his views using storyify.
Tariq Ali on Islam, the US China – Pakistan – Kim Hill interviews
Tariq Ali on Islam, the US China – Kim Hill interview
Very good to hear this interview today. It is incredible that a broad left perspective can be voiced so clearly but so little heeded. Listen to this interview, it is rare to get such crisp insight into world dynamics. It hard enough to understand the world, let alone when most of what we hear is designed to insulate us from insight. If people in New Zealand listened to these perspectives and engaged fully, even to challenge, then we would not be in Afganistan. No one wants a US empire and their assassinations, drones, war machine, and other antics of an empire in its death throws.
It is only a revolutionary socialist’s perspective that ever makes sense to me, but it is one that is largely invisible. Chomsky might be another speaker who has a world perspective worthy of discussion. The dominant media creates a climate where these voices are side-lined and certainly not discussed seriously. It is wonderful that this is in the public domain on New Zealand national Radio – I respect Kim Hill for at least listening without ridicule.
