Writing duets

I who...? is a short webpiece reflecting on identity. It was created using an image and words by the artist Randy Nehila and can be viewed online in Volume 2 of Inflect, an Australian journal of multimedia writing, based at The University of Canberra's School of Creative Communication. The piece draws on an earlier work, I: Four Portraits of Self, which is a set of abstract pen portraits of Randy, drawn from his own words and combined with four self-portraits.

Vitaleyes was a project with Randy Nehila that took place between October and December 2002, during which time we worked rapidly and collaboratively, yet with the express intention of producing two entirely separable creations in different media. I wrote a novel with the working title Vitalize and Randy painted a series of fifty-three oil paintings. Selected words and images from the project can be viewed online at his Three Cats Gallery.
