On Elizabeth Street, Melbourne, there is a restaurant called 'Gold an Fork'. Not 'Gold and Fork', or even 'Golden Fork' – no letters are missing from the sign. It just is an Indian restaurant, proudly named 'Gold an Fork'. And incidentally, they serve a boiled egg with their Thali.
PS. I had a friend who once missed her bus and was late for work. Never helpless, she promptly flagged down a car – and was driven to the city in a Golden Egg truck.

This blog is my attempt to document, preserve and reflect on the ordinary and the breathtaking in each day. It began as a diary based on my walking practise around Brunswick West in 2009, and continues (together with walking: we're still here) as a place to occasionally publish my 2D and 3D works.
I am Inari, a migrant from Finland and a multidisciplinary artist & designer. I live and work in Melbourne, Australia, translating my native relationship with wilderness and changing seasons into objects, images and words inspired by light, clouds and atmospheres in urban environments. Often experimenting with non–precious, industrial materials such as concrete and steel, the core of my practice is revealing beauty within ordinary, everyday things.
I love these photos, Inari. And your musings. I will look forward to reading more!
