I have recently left the city behind me, having settled down in a co-housing community in Roberts Creek on the Sunshine Coast. The air is clean out here, filtered by the towering cedars and seasoned by the salty ocean. The kids still run in packs around these parts. And we cook and eat with our neighbours at least once a week. The larger community of the Creek is charged with activists and artists and a constant pursuit of creativity and the search for something simpler in this complex existence.
I like finding inspiration in the real world. Stories that seem too wonderfully strange to be real. Themes that explore the blurred line between reality and illusion, our obsession with fame and celebrity, and the fallacy of humankind and the modern condition.
