Crux Part Two

This is a screen shot from tonight’s Zoom meeting of the Crux network. Kendal, Sue, Tookie and I were there as yesterday.

There were three speakers. Every one was fascinating.

Lifted from the web:

Greg Constantine showed work he has been doing since 2006, photographing images of statelessness, immigration and detention centres to show the effects of these on the people involved. He discussed the ethics of involving people in his work.


David Ellingsen, is a Canadian photo-based artist working typically within long-term projects focusing on forests, biodiversity and climate. He draws upon his colonial family history, one often embedded within British Columbia’s troubled forest industry, and the photographs reflect on the impacts of resource extraction and consumption on past, present, and future eco-systems.

Johnny Miller, an award winning photographer and multimedia storyteller based in South Africa, uses aerial imagery in his series Unequal Scenes to show how government created housing inequities intentionally disenfranchise poor people worldwide.
His drone images were stunning and illustrate inequalities in a unique way.

The meeting ran 45 minutes over time and hardly anyone left before the end.

It’s been a very wet day. Peter G came this morning and set up a trickle charger for my car battery to keep it alive while I cannot drive it.

I shortened a pair of baggy trousers to wear after the operation.

I cooked three different pans of mince so that we have a few home cooked meals in the freezer: chilli con carne, mince and onion, savoury mince.

There were too many pans!!

Two sleeps to go.
