At a friend’s farm just out of Victor Harbour in South Australia there was a mess of old mangled farm equipment. There was something tragic yet heroic about it. It made me think about tenacity, faith and entropy.
I used to love playing with the bright coloured electrical wires and transistors when I was a child. They always remind me of my Dad’s workshop, now long gone.
