Shultz Abrahms-Kavunenko

Shultz Abrahms-Kavunenko, a writer, artist, dancer, percussionist, anthropological offsider and companionable being, is enamoured of complexity, beauty and learning. His activities range through analysis, practice, improvisation and play – from which shifting ground, he hopes, with luck and perseverance actuality might be felt to resound. He has a BA from the university of Melbourne, has undertaken miscellaneous further studies and conducts independent research projects. He has published a philosophical adventure novel – On Extremity and Eternity: The Continuing Adventures of Mr K and Charles, and written a second as yet unpublished manuscript addressing memory and inertia. He explores pattern recognition and the birth of signification in his Accretion series of drawings, and a longing for more-than-human sociality in his ongoing portraits series. He is also a percussionist, dancer and neurological navigator, was drummer and lead dancer for some years in art rock band Aleks and the Ramps, and has an ongoing fascination with movement, affect, and the interrelations of ecology, body and mind.
