About Me.

I was born in a small country town in Australia called Bowen. Bowen is a seasonal town, with a population varying between 6000 and 12000 depending on the time of year. For the majority of my life in Bowen I kept to myself and didn't participate in the undertakings of my various peers. I was proud to not to be a part of their world, though I now realise that by not partaking of their social construct, as warped as it may have been, I have slowed the process of my social maturity, hence a hesitance in verbal intercourse that is hard to shake.

My life in recent years has consisted of study in visual arts, and the undertaking of basic semiotic reading. This has opened me up to the general hypocrisy in society, and allowed me to see from an unbiased viewpoint the hypocrisy in my own beliefs. Lies and exaggerations are so commonplace now in our lives that they have become an integral part of our social fabric. Charisma is given precedent over creation.
