Tag: GROWING PAINS

  • Lile, shirtless in a living room setting with a dead pot plant and empty rum and coke cans (labelled rum n' cock) sits in an armchair looking at a CRT TV sitting on the floor. the light from the tv is lighting her up in a shaft of light. She looks bored and discontented, yet definitely resigned to this fate. A portrait of Deevle, her demon, giving the peace sign is hung up crooked on the wall. To the left side of the image text reads, "There will be days when you don't know who you are on a Tuesday. There will be nights where there's nothing but you and your empty stomach in the dark. Don't worry about it too much. Watch some TV."

    GROWING PAINS, #33 | Watch Some TV

  • Lile, fully nude with scars on her arms and legs, gives the viewer a glum thumbs up as she lies on her back with her legs propped up. Deevle, her small cat-sized demon, is urinating from where he stands on her knee, the stream of which is landing and splashing near her feet. Beneath them, text reads, "We are eels on the grass in the hot hot sun."

    GROWING PAINS, #32 | Life in the Unrelenting Piss Sauna

  • A static-filled CRT television set with a winking Lile giving the audience the thumbs up onscreen, a jagged speech bubble coming out and reading, "Violence is funny!". An opened can of "Rum n' Cock" sits beside the TV with a straw poking out of the top.
    Showing the opposite perspective from the previous image, we see Lile in a sparse living room with a single lamp and chair. She's grinning wide and happy as she proclaims, "She's right!". In her hand is her sword which has a severed demon head stuck through and hanging off the end of it. It's dripping blood on the rug.

    GROWING PAINS, #31 | Violence is Funny and Lile is hilarious!

  • Lile, dressed only in her underwear and passed out on the floor on her tummy, her head turned to the side and drool forming a puddle by her mouth. Around her are empty bottles and baggies of cocaine. Text below her reads, "No better comfort: rock bottom".

    GROWING PAINS, #29 | Safe in the Knowledge There’s Nowhere Else to Go

  • A naked girl (Lile) lies dead and split open from the chest to the belly button, the wound opening in a long diamond-shaped slit. Amphetamine pills fill her body cavity and spill out onto the road. Towards the background of the image we can see a car driving away with it's boot (trunk) popped open, seemingly where Lile has fallen from. It is entering one of Canberra's large roundabouts, which spreads into the background of the image, grass growing in the centre of the roundabout island and along the sides of the road.

  • Lile is fully nude on her hands and knees, her hands clawing the ground and leaving grooves in the earth from her nails. Her stomach is hanging down unattractively. Text above her reads, "Turns out I can't take it. I can't fucking take it anymore. I thought I could do it but I can't. Everyone else can do it but I can't. I can't take it, not one more second of it. Don't try to tempt me into it! I'm done with it! Won't catch me conforming to it! Go on, enjoy it, but don't go forcing me into it! I won't buy it anymore! I don't see eye to eye with it! I can't take it!"

    GROWING PAINS, #28 | “it”.

  • Lile lays on her back on a bare mattress with a rucked up single bedsheet trailing onto the floor. She is in her classic y-front briefs and some socks, and the expression on her face is one of dejected misery. Above her, text reads, "I wake up in the morning and there is a feeling" repeated over and over in a block of text and grainy scan artefacts that forms a physical cloud over her head and body.

    GROWING PAINS, #27 | There is a feeling.

  • A colourised version of GROWING PAINS, #26. Lile relaxes in a reclining position on the pale sand of a beach, a cloudy but beautifully blue sky above her. Her skin is dull like that of a lifeless corpse. On a stool positioned by her feet, Deevle the demon angles a vintage suntanning mirror so that the sun's golden rays are hitting her naked body. She is peaceful but her face still holds a slight frown; she knows bad things are just around the corner.

    It’s such a perfect day, I’m glad I spent it with you, 2020

  • Lile, entirely nude, reclines on the ground in profile to us, while above her on a stool her small demon, Deevle, uses a vintage tanning mirror to redirect the sunlight onto her.

    GROWING PAINS, #26 | If at Any Point Things Want to Get Better I’m Open to the Idea

  • Lile, a short-haired blonde in only ratty Y-Front underwear, kneels down facing you. She holds up a rat king above her head, which is a collection of dead rats with their tails knotted together. Beneath her the words read, "If I'm a rat I'll be the rat king".
