Open this weekend. All Welcome. Come and seee what I do…..
I enjoy the space and peace and quiet out here. A few cattle and grass. Looking closer hundreds of cowslips and many wildflowers.
Lovely way to spend a day. A bit cold and windy for the end of May. I had my coat and a woolly hat! Very exciting to see these little plants. I had never seen one before. Actually hundreds of them happily flowering away.
I really enjoy Tulips, they are so cheerful and also make wonderful shapes in a vase.
A lovely barn owl hunting, I have seen several times in the evening in different fields, it seems the perfect habitat.
The Story of my Christmas Card this year:
I have a little friend in my garden who means a lot to me.
I also discovered Phoenix Studios and Liam Biswell who showed me several printing techniques. I particularly like etching.
Then when I got home I photographed the piece of paper and printed lots of cards to send to my friends.
I really enjoyed this exhibition
At Tate Modern, called In Real Life.
There was a tunnel of triangles and mirrors with a ball at one end suspended from the ceiling.
These coloured lights were at one side of the room shining on the opposite wall and when people walked between lights and wall they made coloured shadows. The idea was simple but very effective and fun.
There was a big board with. lots of images and diagrams all over it showing ideas and wonderful shapes for example this dancer was the inspiration behind a lot of interconnecting shapes.
and these are the bits inside the making of the Little Sun, which is a little solar powered light which brings light to many in Ethiopia who dont have electricity
I watched several YouTube videos over the weekend where Olafur speaks about his art and his passion for community spaces. I love his discussions about spaces and light and mirrors, and how people react to the spaces he creates.
“Your Engagement Has Consequences” (from Berlinale Talents)is fascinating. Olafur is so eloquent and I love the way he talks about his projects with slides of the finished pieces and also the ideas along the way to create the end design.
another great one is “Designing for Versailles” (from Brilliant Ideas) I enjoyed watching and recommend.
At Fishlake Meadows just a little north of Romsey. A wonderful view of this second year non breeding osprey.
There are lots of dead trees standing in the water to make ideal perches and apparently lots of fish in the lake.
