Sweet nectar - an online exhibition of photo-media works with grevillea blooms. www.michelleculpitt.com

One of the things I like about grevillea is its sweet nectar, walking in the bush I pick a flower and put it in my water bottle to make cordial. l can also use it to make handmade photographs.

Y’all, I was absolutely thrilled when @stonecirclereview.bsky.social accepted my poem “heart as double-paned window”—a golden shovel based on a Joni Mitchell song—and I’m elated they nominated it for a Pushcart. Check out this great journal, which rn features “Bidden” by @jackbedell.bsky.social

10 + years making anthotype (flower print) photograms from Darwin to Newbliss, Reykjavik to Maningrida, Country Victoria, Melbourne and Hobart! Using weeds and native flora, the reactions in plant based light sensitive emulsion to UV over minutes, hours, days, weeks is always surprising #anthotype

The Giant Women Who Stomped on Art World Invisibility One lesson of this compact, extraordinary exhibition of feminist art is that if you’re being ignored, you can do whatever you want — so take up space.

A compact exhibition with a massive presence, “Giant Women on New York” at James Fuentes Gallery takes its name from a series of drawings and collages by Anita Steckel dating from 1969 to ’74, where women the size of skyscrapers take over New York City.
