Spagna Metro Station, Rome
postcards from rome
it is a gathering of friends… reminiscing, updating, creating new memories
it is the sweet warm smell of thunder brewing rainstorms
it is the sound of the city breathing in and out
it is scooters – arriving, leaving, arriving again – dancing with dawn & darkness
it is the feeling of being a part of it all for a precious, fleeting moment
it is backyards, doorways, laundry drying in the sun
it is SPQR, roman remains, a busy city carrying on
it is the endless rivers of umbrella-following tourists
it is beggars, holy water, opulent chapels, subdued light
it is rabbit in with sauce, squid in with peas
it is the curve of a building, nestling itself into the one beside
it is the magnificence of history, blowing my tiny mind
it is early morning light casting shadows on the kitchen floor
it is the man, pedaling his bicycle, sharpening knives on a turning stone
it is photos missed and photos taken
it is friday night entertainment in the piazza
it is messy sheets and messy lives
it is the silhouette of your body gazing out the window, the world alive beneath our feet

the shed project
just a quick note to let ya’ll know that my friend bindu wiles would love to have you join her for The Shed Project.
starting 14 september, spend 8 weeks losing it… letting go of whatever it is that you need less of in your life – be a little or a lot.
she’s got lots of cool stuff lined up for participants including a private flickr group, videos, guest writers (me included!) and more, more, more…
it’s a SHEDVENTURE!
head on over to her website to read all about it and sign up

postcards from the wapping project
wicked-cool restaurant/gallery/book store in the wapping hydraulic power station.
(i apologise in advance for their website)
they make a mean bloody mary and we wish we’d been there sooner – it is totally going to be our sunday morning hangout until we move from east london.
(props to nic for the above photograph)
Currently showing in the gallery (as part of the london design festival) the work of Paul Boudens – space designed by designer Bob Verhelst.
We’re planning to make this kind of ‘floating room’ in the middle of your big space.
The entrance will be via your small platform (with the stairs to the left) but we’ll have stairs leading into the room from the middle of the platform.
The room itself will look as if it is made of scrap material, painted black, so the first view will be quite uncanny. Bob wants to play with light that comes out of slits in the thing.
The inside will be wallpapered with prints of my work (1990-2010): walls, floor, and ceiling.
