kittehs!

Skip Day from sheseesred on Vimeo.

today was the big clean-up in the underground. wow! it was super busy, everyone was hepped up, shifting stuff.

jed from VACRO, bill posters (another artist in the underground space) and john from CNH were all gun-ho, with gloves and vigour and sweaty methods. they did the bulk of the work, shifting years of stuff into 20 cubic metres' of skip.

we contributed a little - we ditched some of the stuff from ben and craig's installation, and turfed some remains from michal and laine's time here - although there's still a big pile of polystyrene that is being recycled on wednesday.

we're almost cleared out of the old space and into the new.





kittehs!

in the process of clearing out, marc from the men's shed stumbled upon a box of kittens! literally.
the stray who hangs out down here had obviously climbed in there to give birth to 5 gorgeous looking things that were never going to survive down here.

i was super sad, but the yarra city council animal person was called and promptly picked them up within the hour. if they couldn't house them, the lost dog's home would take them and if after a week no owners, then probably death.

mamma cat has been hanging around my studio a bit more lately - she marked her territory over my suitcase, which was lovely of her. and then she discovered the open container of milk i had on my desk, which i had put out for her and the kittens. she kindly helped herself all over the application i was preparing.

but thankfully i am a complete sap when it comes to cats.

she may not be able to fill in a feasibility study, but i have a feeling i will be making a small difference to her life as a collingwood cat in the next 3 months.
