Overview
""Are my paintings good enough to keep on painting?"" Inka is on a quest to discover if she is good enough at painting to pursue it as her lifelong dream. But how would she ever find out and who would be able to tell her? Abandoned on the roadside in a rainstorm at a young age, Inka was lucky enough to have been adopted by a finishing school for girls. But that roof over her head wouldn't last forever. After finding an advertisement for a psychic, Inka puts her trust in the universe and recklessly jumps ship, intent on finding her way across the country to the great Madga Gaska where she believes she will find peace in finally knowing her destiny. On the way, she gets caught up in a whirlwind of outlaws and bandits, twirling through the colours of the world around her, and Inka's desire to know her fate before it's due to arrive lands her in the terrifying truth of a life worth painting. Eternal Inka leads to questions around what art even is. Does everyone make something? Are we all artists? What makes something beautiful? What does it mean to see through someone's gaze? Do we all see things differently? The related music album, found on all major streaming platforms, includes 3 instrumental tracks for you to make your own songs with.

Author Information
Philosophy has been a passion of mine since a young age when the riddles of the universe first snuck into my soul and the everyday everydayness of life coming alive left me spellbound as if I could see things through a pair of kaleidoscopic spectacles. My focus over the past twenty years of working in schools, external literacy programs and theatre has been to awaken the philosopher inside the minds of children to get them thinking about how they are thinking and wondering about why they are wondering by enchanting them with vivid stories, complex creatures, twinkling soundtracks and most importantly, questions.
