fiona-roberts-intimate-vestiges-designboom-02Details from Intimate Vestiges by Australian artist Fiona Roberts,  blending traditional decor with elements of the human body. To wit:

a hair chair with ceramic mouths, a shag pile rug made up of thousands of ceramic fingers and a dark window, concealed by curtains that look back at the visitor are installed throughout the faux-bedroom. these conventional items of the house that generally go unnoticed, become here, the focus of the viewer’s attention, drawing them in to a personal narrative about everyday routines, memories, accidents, habits, and fear.

Currently on show at Kickarts Contemporary Arts in Cairns, if you’re passing.

Radio Newcastle commentator Nick Barnes’ meticulous, colour-coded match notes. To wit:

Despite the hours that Barnes pours into each page, he uses his notes only sparingly during actual gameplay. “They are there purely as a crutch and a point of reference if need be,” he said. “If I was a newspaper reporter, I could keep my match reports, but radio is transient, so my notebook is my personal record of the matches I cover.”
