22.01.2022 Welcome to the final edited movie version of our online discussion as we journey through Wadawurrung country and discuss the important realisationship the traditional custodians have with this land and its people.

Lastly thank you to all of you for finding a moment to see, to feel, to listen and really hear the transitional custodians of the land in which we live, our Wadawurrung peoples stories and other indigenous people and non idigenous people that were born or now live here. #inthistogether #treatynow #wadawurrung #alwayswasalwayswillbe #Respect #action #Australia #letswalktogether #createchange #indigenous

19.01.2022 Self portrait from a few years ago... makes me think about isolation and how many artists work under isolation. But this type of aloneness is different - much more challenging and life changing. No one knows whats next and the future is so uncertain for many especially youth. Make sure you talk to your friends and family - stay connected - check in with the younger generations - we need greater mental health support than ever before. It can start with being kind. #selfportrait #massisolationaus #isolation #covid_19 #janjuc #australia #youth #mentalhealth #support #connect #kindess #thechildrenarethefuture #alone #artistslife #connected #society

08.01.2022 5 years ago today I took this photograph of my dear friend and playwright Scott Welsh Title Unleash the PhD Scott has completed his PhD in Theatre as social education. @scott_mostafa_welsh ... One day after completing this amazing milestone we thought wed free it by throwing it into the air. The shadows this created were a stunning visual conjuring up a bird like shape akin to the art direction used in The Birds (1963) by Alfred Hitchcock Always love creating with my theatre buddies. Did you know that I also studied acting at vca and wished to pursue a career in the performing arts? #AlfredHitchcock #theatre #education #artistslife #mynikonlife @nikonaustralia #PhD #theatreeducation #irony #art #creative #australia

04.01.2022 Iso_types 51 : Simon, Kate, Tom and Isla Ayerbe : This story touches my heart so deeply. I went to high school at Geelong College with these two. Years later th...ey got married. Down the track Sime developed bowel cancer at 38 years of age and last year Kate, Hollie, Lib and I (aka Team Anos ) walked 80km in 2 days and raised $18k for bowel cancer research - it was hard- but not as hard as the battle Sime and his family had to face. The best news is the cancer has been beaten and during these times they are home together as a family and Sime is in remission.Thank you for sharing your story ... So... along with everyone else, 2020 probably wont go down as our favourite year! Iso has been strange, uncomfortable in its uncertainty, hectic with young kids, and obviously isolating in every sense of the word. But life hasnt changed too much since last year, which was a bit of a stinker also. We returned from living in Singapore in the 2018/19 Summer, and learned Sime had colorectal cancer in April 19 for which he endured treatment for 12 months. Thank goodness, the treatment was successful. And if anything, that hideous year lent us an appreciation for the small things, the quiet moments etc. Also, perspective. We are thankful for that. Were a tight little family unit, and together we can get through anything #familylife #cancersucks #Australia #connected #isolife #reflection #Highton #community #gratefulness #COVID_19 #cancersurvivor #oldschool #change #home #heart #love #sharing #stories #ourlife #future #homeshooling #childrenareourfuture #hope #inthistogether #supportlocal #onelove #perspective #thankful @ The Highton Hills See more
