Flutters and I have been aimlessly wandering, these last few days…
… we’ve had fun…
… checked out some favourite haunts…
… in a few days, the human might cease to exist. This will mean that I will cease to exist. This will mean FlutterBye will cease to exist.
We both really want that not to happen.
Maison de L’amitié is a collection of photographic backdrops…
… loosely strung together…
… the overall impression is of ‘gritty grunge’…
… but it’s a very tidy, safe kind of urban decay…
… with lots of colour…
… and shapes and textures…
… which make for detail-rich imagery.
In just under a week, my human will undergo a 7 hour surgical procedure… with a 16% chance of dying on the operating table. If the human survives that, there will be 1-2 weeks in intensive care, with a high chance of several life-threatening complications. If the human survives that, there will be 6 months, minimum, of recovery.
At the least, there will be no posts, here, for a few weeks, as of next week… at the worst, this blog will stop.
Infinite Darkness has a beautiful palette…
… that makes for wonderful, graphic novel-like scenes…
… this is an environment of bridges and stairs…
… which lead to various, equally mist-enshrouded…
… parts of the build. All great for photographic fun…
… we startled this little black cat so badly, she froze on the spot…
… as we climbed higher, through the rain, we hoped the little black cat was better…
… and then we were at the top, feeling like characters in a graphic novel.
This is a very abbreviated account of our exploration, here, there’s lots to see, even a tunnel to Hell.
From the balcony of our apartment in Hangars Liquides…
… we can jump straight into a graphic novel-like scifi futurescape…
… a perfect place for us to stroll…
… amid vast, echoing halls of brutalist grandeur…
… where any kind of broken, repressive stuff could be happening…
… but, usually, it’s too wet for that…
… and everyone stayed home…
… everyone stayed home.
It’s been a few years since we visited Luanes World…
… this iteration is really beautiful…
… it is trance-inducingly quite and gorgeous…
… with a Tardis-like distribution of different environments…
… in which to slowly wander…
… ever-entranced…
… as in a dream…
… of a dream you once had.
…
…
…
Natthimmel is different… again…
… just as beautiful…
… gorgeous, scifi sky and palette…
… surreal scifi…
… but, you know us… it was the shore…
… a shore of dreams…
… and the stunning fields…
… the grasses moving gently… these were the things we liked most.
We recently visited this exhibition at ‘The Annex of Nitroglobus Roof Gallery‘…
… this is a lush, rich-hued presentation, both the space, and the work…
… there’s a demented cat…
… whose antics took my attention from these beautiful works, but only for a little while…
… this is a sumptuously appointed gallery space, the space as much a part of the experience as the work, which is always nice…
… I always appreciate the amount of work, especially attention to fine-tuned detail that goes into setting up an installation like this…
… it helps if the work is as beautiful as these are (:
We visited the ‘The Ghost Has No Name’ exhibition, at the ‘Artsville Galleries‘, recently…
… we really liked both the space, and the work…
… beautiful, dream-Rorschach-like imagery…
… we liked them all. They are very reasonably priced, but there was no way we could sensibly buy all of them, so we settled for four…
… the gallery has an upstairs ‘party’ space, and a lovely courtyard…
… the courtyard is kinda zen…
… the ‘party’ space is kinda industrial…
… we totally enjoyed the time we spent, here (:
‘Hmmm… dreaming I’m waiting in a hallway’…
… ‘aww, your’e in my dream, too, sweetheart’…
… ‘how do you know you’re not in mine?’, she coyly replied…
… ‘that’s a very valid question, my little Lepidoptera’, I answered…
… ‘perhaps we’re really here?’, she then asked…
… ‘yes, I think we are.’…
… ‘It’s a very nice dream, if that’s what it is.’ She said…
… ‘It sure is, my little love.’…
… ‘oh, look, here comes the end…’
