We went to the Saatchi Gallery too. Particular favourites of ours were Swarm by Tessa Farmer - amazingly detailed and slightly eerie tiny tiny skeletal figures riding on the backs of insects. And 20:50 by Richard Wilson. He has flooded the basement with recycled sump oil - when you walk in it takes a moment - at least! - to realise what you are looking at. The effect is just amazing, very peaceful but perhaps slightly sinister with the faint smell of oil... this is a permanent exhibit and it's well worth the trip just to see that.
I didn't take any pictures inside but I did take these lovely shots outside of trees reflected on the beautiful stone slabs. I wouldn't have got these without the rain!
We did a bit of shopping, and a lot of walking, and today we are back home again, rather footsore to say the least!
ooo lovely was hoping you'd tell us what you'd done. I found myself worrying about the sump oil's effect on the wood pannelling in that link tho lol.
ReplyDeleteI knwo what you mean about the panelling! Where it is now is the modern (presumably) purpose built space shown in the main picture - I imagine it would have had quite a different feel in the room with the panelling.
ReplyDeleteIt probably isn't all that deep anyway, just an illusion ;-)
lovely photos, those mirrors are amazing!
