What's in a name?

Gulliver stems from the protagonist 'Gully Foyle' from Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination. Xerxes is in honour of the Persian king 486 to 465 BC. Conroy is Morgan's maternal grandfather's surname.

Seeking enlightenment

We went to the Institute of Modern Art today. I'm totally intrigued by what sort of art intrigues a baby. So far video installations do not resonate well. But, a sculpture of the buddha was utterly hypnotic.


Gully crawls to the buddha, away from video.


He approached many times. So close, but he could not touch.



On the other hand, 20th century films were fascinating, such as this film of water draining by Peter Roehr Montage Films
























Luckily a free street press offered all of the pretty colours to touch and scrunch up. I'd like to commission art jumping castles: Art that can be interacted with.
