Actuality

By: Tia Scott, Billinudgel

Actuality

She smoulders through fits of existence.

She’s in the McDonald’s bathroom, attempting to entice beauty into her hungover manifestation. She can’t even recall the previous night in its entirety. Hazy moments are strung together, not in chronological order, and not always making sense.

She’s a commodity, available for purchase. Drinks, flattery and craftily invested time form the currency of the transaction. It’s an unspoken agreement, and she never fails to uphold her end of the bargain.

    Not enough artists reflect on commercialism and the workplace. Nice!

If you are 16-25 and live in NSW this is your opportunity to creatively engage with the issues and culture in which you experience alcohol and drugs.
