Jack Mitchell is a person who makes things: sometimes alone, sometimes with other people. He tries to synthesise a mixed bag of diasporic lineages into harmonic relationship with place by putting down the ring of power, but Gollum is nothing if not persistent. He has values and ideals that he’s forgotten, and remembers something about having a purpose once, but is listing on an ocean of information circling towards the Great Internet Garbage Heap. He is currently trying to sail these tumultuous apocalyptic waters of grief by engaging in the paradox that is academic study via a PhD, called Blak White and Bluespace, which is looking at Indigenous cultural relationships to water.
