Colourclimb (the shelves, the walls are bare, and ready)




A few days of painting (walls)
taking down shelves
clearing cupboards
boxes
and thoughts.

It has been a dusting and a vacuuming of the heart. My home too finds itself slightly more organised.

I love clearing out old boxes in particular. You find things you never knew you even had.

I found these keys
and, being a pair, embellished with the number '30', looking such a pretty pair
I could not force myself (this time) to throw them into a loveless abyss.
So they found a cosy home, where they will no doubt be re-found and weighed up in another few years.

I am thinking that, if you clear enough 'stuff' away, out and about, you will only be making room, for ripe possibilities. Bare shelves will be filled with juicy whispers, joined at the hip hot spots.


Here are some more
coloursoups
I have been stirring









I am still filled to brim from my evening with Gemma Hayes. I have ordered my guitar tuner! Now I will be able to tune my instrument, all by myself. Yes, I marvel. To think I can do these things all by myself! (I hope I can understand the thing when it pops through my letter box...!)

Pat on the head
biscuit treat.

I am off to Folkestone Triennial this weekend with my dear friend Rod. We are running a train marathon, and intend to take in every work, whilst making some lamppost work of our own (I'll put the pictures up as soon as we have completed our task)...

Here is a work I am very much looking forward to seeing.




'Tales of space and time' by ArtMagic couple Heather and Ivan Morison.

It was the description that got me:

"Attracted by Folkestone’s connection with H.G. Wells, the Morisons have constructed a mobile Science Fiction library in the style of a 1970s Californian House Truck.
Made popular in America during the Hippy movement, these house trucks, similar to Gypsy caravans, are a symbol of freedom and a nomadic self-sufficient lifestyle. Following this tradition the Morison's version is hand built using Douglas fir from their arboretum in Wales onto a 1955 Green Goddess, ex army fire engine.
Inside, the truck houses hundreds of Science Fiction classics as well as soft sci-fi furnishings. It is staffed by a local Science Fiction enthusiast.
A series of related talks will be held throughout the summer. The house truck will be a base for a discursive forum where alternate possibilities, time and space can be speculated"

W.O.W

feast of my eyes + brain + heart = creation sensation

Until then
stay warm
and keep out of the rain
or in it
if it makes you feel beautiful.
