C.H.R.Y.S.A.L.I.S
All covered up in a brown nest I learned to call a “chrysalis” / And I could spell it too: C.H.R.Y.S.A.L.I.S. / And she told me that patience had power, That the caterpillar in the chrysalis would turn to goo and then into a butterfly. And all I had to do was wait.

A Body in a Borrowed Shirt
I’m wearing a borrowed shirt / and I’ve stained it with a dish I call / “curry adjacent”

Lessons We Learned

Under the pink sky dulled by the fumes of the train, stand a little closer to me, darling.

Memoir
Walking at Dusk: My Inner Monologue
I have an inner monologue that is constantly running, like the voiceover in some off-beat Australian dramedy. Walking down the street is like the first sequence of ‘Offspring’.

You've landed at the bottom of the rabbit hole.
The Penny Mint acknowledges the land on which we work, perform and reside: on Boonwurrung, Woiwurrung and Wathaurung Country. We extend our deepest gratitude to the elders and ancestors who have told their stories and sung their songs on this land for more than 60,000 years. We acknowledge that this land was never ceded, and no treaty has ever been reached. This always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
