Yesterday, paints out (wall paint, powdered Indian paint, lacquer, pencils, pins to scrape with and graphic pens) to make one very small painting for a fundraiser for Bristol's Cruse Berevement Care, to take the form of an anonymous exhibition, each piece A5. More about that here. Liking the words 'Top Notch' and wanting to write them everywhere.

Spent a while in this mirror-box. Reflections going on forever, stuck in a time-warp, can't find the door. Shame is smelt of feet!Rosalie Gasgoine - Web / Piece Work / Foreign Affairs (1994) 'choosing to work with materials that "have had sun on them"' grids of weathered woods. order and repetition.Tony Cragg - Clear Glass Stack (1999) assembelage, interlockedThank you Auckland Art Gallery, so much variation, and I never usually find much that I really am inspired by, so this was a nice hi-light of my trip.
Burma, Auckland zoo's only elephant. I was lounging on the bench during the 5 hour zoo trip, very relaxed. Heard a noise and looked to my right to find a massive elephant trunk. The elephant keepers walk Burma daily around the zoo.
England is getting a treat! Jel Photo are returning to the UK for a little trip somewhere around July/August 2012. They are a husband and wife team based in Auckland, New Zealand. The pair have the most incredible skill at photographing weddings and their wedding photography has been featured on Style Me Pretty, Polka Dot Bride, Boho Bride & Magnolia Rouge wedding sites. They have done plenty of international weddings and love the whole experience.They are not charge anything extra for their flights, just their normal photography rates. You'd ideally be located in Dorset or Hampshire, but it's no issue if you're not. In fact, they are even stretching this opportunity to the rest of the world (ideally Dubai, LA, Japan, which are all en-route to the UK when flying from NZ)
