this is red, this is yellow, this hummer is yellow

cars, trucks and moving boxes- this too shall pass

a big yellow hummer.

thinking about moving out, family and friends, selling the childhood home, a place and a process. the family archive of memory, where stories+items+objects begun. A treasured period, a dvd video titled “dads video”, a “long-car-ride dvd player”, a car and a long car-ride. 

-a house tour for grandad, sent back to the UK, resonant now. Blurry memories, clear in picture. Constructed visions through familiar furniture and faces. Remain undetermined. 

-a heafty toy discount at Myer from mum, a hummer, a brother and a passenger. Steering out of frame and around the corner.

Load up the repair signs and oversized tools to have a good look under the engine to check everythings working. 

To be taught that with the right intention/attention to the small things, the world tells you everything is going to be ok. The presence of a yellow hummer car, seeing queerness and gender somehow sat there. A piece of the stuff, and things, and everything. all there.
