Cornered Optimism

2024–2025

Twelve things I built in my Erskineville workshop in 2024 and 2025, mostly from e-waste and stuff I found on the street. A telegraph that prints messages from dead operators. A lamp shaped like a rifle. Guns with no triggers. A coffee maker that actually brews. They all work. Each one measures the gap between what we get told and what actually happens, seen from Sydney, 13,000 km from Paraguay where I grew up.
