Melanie Hoult

Interdisciplinary Visual Artist

If the colour blue generates a calm and peaceful
feeling. If the ocean puts the mind into a meditative
state. Then surely proximity creates a similar affect.
Does this proximity include a distillation of several
streets, a creek, a train track, and a freeway to
conjure the health benefits of a beach in Seaford?
So asks Landfish as he continues his journey,
landlocked, housebound, driving his chronically ill
vehicle through the depths of a mind underwater.
Submerged in the electric currents of thought eels,
provoked by various static sea critters. Swirling
through eddies attracting garbage, concepts
exposed by wriggly eye creatures, seeking
weakness and fragility. Landfish continues on blindly
thorough these murky waters. Hopeful the proximity
to his watery homeland is enough to hold onto.
