Blog 58, those never forgotten, the importance of love and so many more thoughts following my colourful cultural moments
A James Bond film treat first and an introduction to the Day of the Dead in Mexico. An amazing array of experiences at the British Museum and Family Festival ‘Days of the Dead’ and finally a rather unusual but interesting film moment watching ‘the Book of Life’.
Blog 39.3: Walls with so much to say and still being discovered. Skills in action and breadth taking spaces at the Pergamon.
Blog 39.2: Exploring a collection at the Altes Museum and images for thought.
Blog 16: My trip to Brighton and another inspiration moment.
Women Artists from the fine art collection at the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery. Early Morning by Dod Procter (was born Doris Shaw). This made me stop in my tracks. The pose, the image and all this creates a feeling of calm. A start of something new.
A lover of the ballet I am always drawn to something that reminds me of my past. The ballet shoe by Dame Laura Knight and my landscape is developing. www.brighton-hove-rpml.org.uk
There is no doubt Brighton has a cultural vibrance and is placed in my landscape.
Blog 13: Guildhall art gallery what a find! Still the novice blogger…
Guildhall art gallery is hidden away in Moorgate but what a wonderful experience. Beauty, Faith, Home, Imagination, Love and Leisure all portrayed. ‘The Garden of Eden’ by G Riviere is definitely my great find.
The creation of my cultural landscape has made me think more about the prompts and how exciting it is finding such hidden treasures.
My powerful painting and a must to see and a revisit. So Thoughtful.
Blog 12: Found Object awaiting a story.
I found this object very thought provoking. Not knowing where it came from provides many unanswered questions. Haris Epaminonda selected found objects, this being one of them and is part of a series ‘Volumes’ and on display at the Tate Modern. I found this figure powerful but sad.

Blog 11: It makes you think in Cambridge
The Power of Advertising and blog 11. The ‘Slient Partners’ poster prompted me to get on a train and make a trip to Cambridge. Wow, it was worth every minute. What an entrance, a cathedral of culture and I cant believe I have not been before.I don’t know why things stick but ….Finding the film‘Dreams that Money Can Buy’ by Hans Richter is a story of mannequins . I really don’t know what it is, but this film made me think.The Fitzwilliam Museumhttp://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk
Blog 10: My adventure and Tate Modern.
The Tate Modern and no 10 on my memory databank. ‘I Don’t Know. The weave of textile language’. By Richard Tuttle in the main hall of Tate Modern.
Reading the exhibit text, it mentions for lots of people art serves as a security and to others is an adventure. This really resonated with me. Art is an adventure and it can be for both the producer and the receiver.
Blog 09: Teapots, Design and much more.
The Design Museum
An unusual film caught my eye in the Designer User Manufacturer exhibition. ‘My teapot’ an everyday object but with so many stories and meanings around them. Designers in Residence 2014 Disruption a really clever display.Llona Gaynor’s display had me thinking and my trip ended with strength and Women Fashion Power.
Not sure if I have tags and categories worked out in my blog but investigating.
