Intimacy
There are three written elements that contribute to this image which champions the concept of Intimacy. In the form of a letter or postcard including an Australian Postage Stamp, the two separated edge notations read;
...and the danger that might wait along the way.
...hoping and despairing over it...

Travel (Diptych)
This small Diptych is as letters written back from a place of 'away-ness' and are determined to be as open to interpretation as possible.
In this case the text, which is sectioned travel writing sampled like music, reads
Thousand of miles from anyone who...
you have the illusion your past is lighter...
Unlike most he doesn't seem to get lonely or miss creature comforts...
Dangerously you may come to feel invulnerable...

Adamance
The two texts surrounding this image read as follows,
'When he was done, he looked around. Stretched his legs along the dirt, blinking out across the level day, this high noon light, the small hard shadows hiding from the heat.'
and,
'A place so adamant as to deny the liklihood of any other.'
