Narelle Kheng Instagram – It’s 2016, Yang and I are fresh grads bursting with excitement. “We’ve gotta make it to the big city!” We book a flight and jump on a plane to the big apple — we miss our graduation. We stay in loft bedroom at an artist’s house. When we arrive hes asleep on the couch passed out. We hover awkwardly by the door before we finally decide to enter and wake him. Theres some bottles on the table. He doesn’t wake up till much later. We cry as we walk under NY scaffolding and eat famous pizza by the water. We’d just finished a film development course in uni. Yang uses big fat photos sheets to test her exposures. I cut mine up to neoprint sizes. I allow myself one roll the whole trip. Somehow I could never let myself spend on art — it’s too precious, I’d just waste it.
I get these photos and never post it because who cares. But somehow due to a wrong timestamp they’ve sat permanently at the bottom of my photo album and I’ve looked at them everyday for 8 years & I love that. So I care! | Posted on 22/Jul/2024 17:58:22
