the world is running out of glassblowers and yet you want to become a fucking doctor

One of the most jarring moments of my university education was in a physics class when I was given a device that measures gravity and was told “this cost the university sixteen thousand dollars, but the only glass blower in the world who could make the glass springs inside it died so it’s literally irreplaceable. If you drop it those springs will shatter. Go fuck around with it for a day and take some measurements”

I've been working in the national glass centre for a past month or so, and thing I've found is "hot glass" is an amazing wonderful thing to learn, but, there's actually very little regular work in it unless you can somehow get to a level of artisanal success that it's worth hiring the equipment, or you join an existing studio of which there are not that many. And then the courses themselves are all under threat because they're relatively expensive to run, and there's not much work. This all sucks because glass is amazing and really important!

Making new big guys. This is prototype for one of the hands. It needs to be bigger really but then I'd have to go back out for more sticks.

I woke up in the night thinking id like to make charm chains to hang off it.

I'm feeling apathetic about work ATM so the small bit of enthusiasm to make this maquete was good.

I got into the studio and had an idea to make a huge veil and hat, hanging a lot of laser cut seel eyes from the veil, and having two big hands hung next to it.

The gallery this work is for has really high ceiling that's got rig with a high weight limit. I want something big to use some of that air up there.

I've thought about a few things, but everything beige this felt either inelegantly bulky ot not substantial enough.

In my notebook it was the design philosophy for this show is "layers of fucked up faded fabric phantoms". And then there is a quite from a Thomas legotti story where an insomniac sees a lump under their bedsheet and smashes it with a shoe, before moving on, never questioning what was under the bedsheet.

In think I can make this. I have a bunch of other ideas. Bit realistically my energy levels have been so low due to MH that this is probably all the new work I can make for this show.

Need more of the Witnessed War Boy who was shot in the head and survived and continued on thru the rest of the movie like the lil badass he is. Did he have a name? Look he just needs more attention okay, he touched Valhalla and came back, he's either a loser or a hero in that respect.

(Also he's got the same pure joy vibes as Smeg and I think they should hang out more)

He's credited as "Lone War Boy" and is played by Sean Millis and nOW I'M GONNA TAKE A HARD TURN TO SHARE that George Miller cast him and several other War Boys after hearing about their stories of surviving bullying and abuse.

Sean Millis is a singer and actor living with Hunter Syndrome and has been the target of online bullying after appearing on The Voice Australia.

Sean Millis as "Lone War Boy," who just seems happy to be here.

Then there's Quaden Bayles, credited as "War Pup," but we all know him as the Pup on the War Rig. Bayles is an Indigenous boy who was featured in a viral video a few years ago where he expressed suicidality in response to bullying about his dwarfism. After receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations to send him to Disneyland, his family chose instead to donate the money to charities that support youth with dwarfism and Indigenous youth in Australia.

And finally, Spencer Connolly, a Tasmanian cast as Rakka the Brakkish. Connolly came to Miller's attention after hearing the story of how Connolly and his brother were set on fire by their father as young kids. Connolly sustained burns to 38% of his body (30-40% can be fatal without treatment, with a ~30% mortality rate). Connolly was at a camp run by Kids Foundation when he expressed a dream to be in a blockbuster movie, and they made it happen. Miller was so impressed with Connolly that he gave him a speaking part (in Connolly's words, "I got a line that I got to say, which is one word, but you know, one word is better than none.")
