Sal sent in the city of Swan’s addition to a Robert Juniper (?) Sculpture. A bin on a stick. Nicely done. I just love that they thought this would be fine. Where exactly Sal?
Speaking of sculpture, the St George piece at the cathedral, (just opposite lair of She Ra Lisa Scaffidi,) is almost finished. Oddly, I’m not hating it. Could be quite interesting. 
And Angiepangie snapped this recent addition in Scarborough. Meh. Not bad enough to be truly worst worthy. Not good enough to be good.

either way it fucking sucks. If you’re going to dissemble the everyday you could at least go to the bother of transposing the information from its familiar setting into a radical new context that challenges our understanding of what it means to obey these symbols day after day and presents us with the vertiginous yawning abyss of semiotic entropy that is the aging process in a town like Perth, rather than just spilling its guts on the nearest lawn. Give way CUNT if you know what I mean.
