Throwing pots

Last week Saturday, I had the chance to participate in Jim Woodall's latest installment Adaption of a Memory of my Father's Studio, circa 1981.

I missed the beginning of the installment, but I am so glad I got to make my pot with the help of The Artist himself, Jim Woodall. 

There is something about working with hands...

Abandoned and sharp

Last month I went on some sort of tour around London and went to Bermondsey.  Who knew this place existed?! But to be fair, I have been living in London for 5 years and I have yet to fully explore this quirky city and its corners.

Back when I visited this square hidden behind the great walls of some sorts of grounded buildings and bridge, there was an art exhibition in the middle of the square of the Vitrine Gallery.

Without any further ado, I present you the work that was on display then and how much I liked the contrasting elements.  In a case where Art is metamorphosed into Fashion, I think this particular Art would work really well as fabric prints...I will leave that for you to judge too.

"The world of plenty is New Babylon, the world in which man no longer toils, but plays; poetry as a way of life for the masses."  - Constant Nieuwenhuys - 

Leave me notes like these...

Caged in glasses, these are writings from the artsy students at the Camberwell Campus.

For these thinkers...

...various things going on at the same time...

I think that's true.

Heavy silences that sometimes fall between friends dining together.

...I like people and therefore don't deceive them.

Inspirational Wednesday

A moment of still

Point A to Point B and in between

For my primary researches, I decided to go to the British Museum in search of some inpiration. I am currently working on my FMP (Final Major Project) and my theme is based somewhere inbetween the history of Native Americans and my hometown culture, Guinea, but more details about my FMP to come soon. There is currently an exhibition about different types of art, eras of the history of art, etc...So check it out! #awesomestuff
I also met up one of the most beautiful people I know, Lyndsey, my friend from America :) who was in town :) :) #funtimes
Here are are some shots taken during the day...
Accidentally ripped my tights

Took a slight detour and stopped by Hyde Park #goodweather





Reached my destination, The British Museum and here are some interesting pieces I found. I honestly need to go back again and spend a whole day in there because there was so much to see...
Layers of scrap metal from coke can, vodka caps...

And a chair made of disposed military weapons
