Got the photos back from my recent installation Lost Bedrooms. It's a robotic work that visualizes bedrooms as they are lost to AirBnb in real time by dropping rocks on glass panels. Read about it on my website 😊

I machined my first metal part today. Hand cut/drilled from a larger slab of aluminum, accurate to 0.05mm (with the aid of 4 custom jigs). So satisfying 🤤

Two small wins recently. Replaced Amazon Audible with Libro.fm and Google Search with @kagi.com. Not looking back, they both rock.

I was born on July 1st, so it's only natural that I do my "year in review" newsletter now right? For those not subbed, you can read it here pencilbooth.com/takes/4f013c...

Spent my day collecting garden materials from my favorite concrete graveyard and prototyping a water... thing.

The vertical integration of information and influence in Lutruwita/Tasmania is troubling to say the least. A politically active PR company, regional newspaper network and polling company with shared interests. What could go wrong? #politas
Papers, polls, PR and politics: meet the powerful lobby firm with a finger in every Tasmanian pie
Font Public Relations shares ownership with a polling company and a network of local newspapers. Some call it the saviour of independent news – but others claim it’s damaging transparency

I love waking up to a fresh inkblot shadow each morning. Reminds me that the little things are still there for us. 🌱🪜

Slowly seeing fellow artists from Lutruwita turning up here, so here's a starter pack I'll start adding them to. I'm sure more of you are out there so lmk and I'll add you! ☺️

For the 4th year in a row, my all-sky camera has been taking an image of the sky above the Netherlands every 15 seconds. Combining these images reveal the length of the night changing throughout the year, the passage of clouds and the motion of the Moon and the Sun through the sky. #astrophotography

This NYE I'm hoping to finally finish my BBQ built from (mostly) found objects. About to pour my first section of concrete + local rock inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's 'Desert Masonry'.
