About this blog

This blog records marks on the urban landscape in St Kilda. It also collects stories and images lost and found. The work invites the viewer to look beyond the architecture, people, cars and landscape and speculate on the traces of life left on the streets.

Writing in public space (formerly City Traces) is my other blog that extends the idea that these urban traces provide clues for deciphering the narratives of the cultural terrain. —

“What are the bags for?” J asked the girl who was working that part of the corner.
“I don’t know”, she replied snippily “I don’t live here”.
