This version was a ready made design by netregistry.au that Stmk chose, utilized and updated sporadically. In its final update it documented Stmk's performance & writing project Spin-Fold-Spill.

This version was designed by the amazing Neng Mohd from The Salt Lab. Stmk just couldn't work out how to edit it.

Spinning a story through the folds of division (the blurry divide of what is true and what is make-believe). 

Strange Land Vol 1 - The Trailer

a land made strange

a place of green snakes and skittish black kangaroos

a land visited by many including the minor, the priest, Liina, and Peg

a land made strange by John A. Douglas's artistic vision: see more!

I found myself posing as though at the beach whilst supposedly dragging my co-performer Suva. I noticed that he was kind of crawling towards me as I was 'dragging' him, thus my exertion was almost fake. Fake seems (sometimes) such a dirty word in performance art. Although, my youngest sister Starella has always had this saying "Fake it till you make it." She's still faking it. On some days, so am I.
