Sullivan
A practice grounded in material and place — ceramics, walking, writing, and research into what it means to look carefully in an age of automated perception. Rooted in Sydney. Shaped by Japan. Based in Greece.
Selected Works
Selected Poems & Essays
Field notes, lyric essays, and poetry drawn from walking, making, and living in landscapes that resist easy translation.
On the Practice
I'm drawn to what happens when ancient practices collide with new ones — ceramics and neural networks, a pilgrimage route walked for a thousand years alongside a database of 8,888 tagged photographs. The 8 Museum began as a counter-gesture to machine-scale image generation and became something slower: a photographic archive of found eights, one encountered loop at a time. The ceramics demand a different kind of presence — a material that resists, glaze that surprises in the kiln, beauty that arrives precisely where the maker lost control. Running through all of it is a sense that we may be among the last generations of humanity as we know it. The work is evidence. The making is the argument.
