Wow - we just watched the Crystal Palace transmitter tower light up to mark the switchover from analogue to digital TV. A beautiful, serene and ghostly (lots of cloud!) image of colours and laser beams flickering and dancing in the sky. Plus we had the best view from our roof terrace!
The aquarium was a big hit at the Horniman Museum! Definitely worth a few visits over the cold winter months, and only half an hour walk away from the flat.
I loved this exhibition by Tacita Dean at the Turbine Hall in the Tate Modern, an 11 minute silent 35mm film projected onto a 13 metre high wall featuring a montage of black and white, colour and hand-tinted film. The colour-blocking and sliced imagery took on a very graphic and interesting collage effect, while the enormous scale allowed the viewer to immerse themselves in the landscape (I particularly love the little boy in the bottom image who looks like he can feel the wind blowing off the waves).
I saw this beautiful installation yesterday at the Museum of Childhood - a video of two girls having a pillow fight that was projected onto a snow globe. It had such a magical quality with the feathers resembling snow, and you had to crouch down to watch it. The second image is by the artist Sarah Cole from her website.
Picnics surrounded by conkers and autumnal leaves but look up and see clear blue skies and bright green leaves. Loving the extended summer!
Trying to capture fabrics, textures, light and depth at my parents house at the weekend.
