Our time in Kandos was shaped by quiet days in an uncultivated field, our work inspired by a glorious mess of a garden filled with overlooked artefacts. These places, left to do their own thing without a care for productivity or meaning, ordered by forces that are hard to ascertain at first glance.

We were often reminded of John Knight’s work, The Right to be Lazy, drawing its name from an essay published in 1883 by Karl Marx’s son-in-law, Paul Lafargue, which argues heavily against conservative, religious and socialist ideas of work, instead championing laziness and creativity as being the most important catalysts for human progress.
