skön Sverige

I loved Sweden. Especially Steninge where Chris' grandparents have their summer house, it is beautiful.
i've fallen in love with rocky beaches, just wish the weather had been nicer for longer!

poetic cosmos of the breath

I first read about Tomas Saraceno in a French Vogue that i picked up in Paris in april.
The piece here was actually about ArtBrussels exhibition which i would love to visit one day, but it was the articles picture that captured my attention.

This is Tomas Saraceno's 'Poetic Cosmos of Breath', an installation piece that was created to interact the iridescent material with the rising sun. Upon inflation the dome reflects cascading ripples of neon. When i initially saw the pictures it made me think of blowing bubbles, when the sun catches the liquid in the bubble and swirls the same colous.



This video shows it's setting up as well as it's finished effect.



I think for me this is the start of something good and irresponsible.

sit back, relapse

i've been quite irritated with myself at my lack of blogging.

i need to get back into being creative. i need to explore ideas, not just emotionally but phsically.

working could be to blame or it could just be an excuse. hopefully my trip to sweden will break me out of this and push me in a good direction again. it will be great to be in a country that's different but bears similarities to england.
