Australian poet Kenneth Slessor’s “snippings of idiot celluloid” create an image of life glimpsed through the windows of a moving train. These same "snippings" can be read in the series Work Boxes. Each is a moment in time; good, bad or seemingly indifferent. Each can illustrate a fragment in the sum of the parts that create a life experience.
