Posted on October 5, 2025 by SallyK

One day earlier this year I got into conversation with a neighbour down the road busily working on a rather cool looking electric blue MG Midget. ‘Oh it’s you who makes all that racket revving and driving up and down … Continue reading →

Posted on March 17, 2023 by SallyK

Walking home one lunchtime I saw a small cockatoo outside enjoying the mild weather. ‘His name is Nietzsche’, his companion told me.  ‘Does Nietzsche ever speak?’ I asked. His companion said no, but Nietzsche, although silent, nodded his head vigorously.  … Continue reading →

Sally Kindberg and more notes for Stranger, a graphic work in progress

Posted on March 15, 2023 by SallyK

 Early events were disturbing: gaslighting, mysterious letters, a bit of levitation, the occasional exorcism.  And a missing father.  Later, after happier times, when the person you trust the most says ‘I’m not who you think I am’, you start asking … Continue reading →
