Topographies
Topographies is a series of cut-paper compositions. Each layer is sandwiched between 540 × 540mm sheets of 10mm perspex. The photo above is from the 2011 postgraduate degree show at Byam Shaw School of Art (Central Saint Martins, London).
I love them, but they are very heavy and unwieldy. There are a few remaining, get in touch if interested.

Embroidery disguise
A quick-ish disguise for a 5p/dime-sized permanent pen stain on my shirt. Blends in a little bit more than before.

The back of Brzeska
The back of a piece by Henri Gaudier-Brzeska at the Tate Liverpool as part of the DLA Piper Series: Constellations. Neat to see the backs of some major artists’ work. Remember: MUST BE STRAPPED.

Claude Parent at the Tate Liverpool
Another favourite part of the 2014 Liverpool Biennial, Claude Parent’s La colline de l’art in the Wolfson Gallery on the ground floor at the Tate Liverpool.
Particularly enjoyed the way the light was diffused and altered for works with very reflective surfaces or cases.
I really enjoyed Liechtenstein’s Moonscape, a screenprint on iridescent blue plastic. It seemed smaller and more experimental than his more famous pieces, and more reserved. You walk up a long ramp in Parent’s space to reach the piece and end up viewing it on a raised platform, a dead-end and the highest point in the gallery. That’s where I took the iffy panorama above. The photo doesn’t do it justice, but hopefully it gives an impression of the extent of Parent’s architectural intervention within the space.

Note Note Tote by Sally and Peter Nencini
Design for an embroidered tote bag by Peter and Sally Nencini (image source)
Posting this design by Peter Nencini for reference as I finish my Note Note Tote. I learned so very much from Sally and Peter at the stitching workshop yesterday at the Tetley, looking forward to finishing the tote. However, must be wary of embroidering while fatigued. I’ve got a few new holes in my index finger.
