The Last Whale

We found the last whale, exactly where they said it would be, somewhere in the near future…

… it was dead, from a broken heart, and thrown on the shore by the restless, micro-plastic-filled sludge called ‘the sea’, itself, dead, and wanting nothing to do with living creatures, or their recently deceased carcasses…

… we were adrift in the temporal shift…

… in a place where the past and the future were colliding…

… forming new tensions…

… in the skein of time…

… we waited for the auto-recall.

Earendel Rising

The first thing that struck us, when we arrived at Earendel Rising, was the brobdingnagian scale of the place…

… this ‘building’ is like some Third Reich lunatics acid dream… we hardly saw any other avi’s here, but the ones we did see were always huddled around the few actual people-scaled places…

… the upper levels are vaguely places a living being might feel comfortable…

… but, historically, and certainly psychologically…

… this kind of architectural scale is designed to awe, if not to straight out intimidate…

… this is a place for giants and megalomaniacs…

… not for tiny beings…

… I’m not running it down…

… it’s a wonderful build…

… but the size is overwhelming…

… it’s not really a ‘building’…

… it’s more of a massive, tiered plaza…

… multiple, stacked, pseudo-classical/brutalist spaces…

… where people go…

… to feel small, and insignificant. Still, as I said, it’s a spectacular build, and definitely worth a visit, so you can make up your own mind about whether you feel comfortable, or irrelevant, here.

GBTH-Art Incubator

Today we visited the Art Incubator space…

… there are 8 gallery spaces here, each showing a different artist…

… each space is obviously decorated by the artist…

… so they are all unique…

… there’s some good art, here, and I really enjoyed the interesting spaces…

… there’s a wide variety of styles here, too.

Kaleidoscope – Monarch Education Project

As a way of making up for my recent neglect of her, I took my sweet little Lepidoptera to Kaleidoscope…

… which is a sanctuary for beautiful Monarch butterflies…

… and an educational resource…

… Flutter was delighted, she kept whispering ‘sisters…’, she knows they can’t hear her, I think she was just marvelling at so many similar, beautiful, fluttering creatures in one place…

… we ambled through the tidy walkways…

… everywhere the glory of these amazing creatures, the soft rustle of thousands of tiny wings…

… there is a cave behind this waterfall for you to explore…

… at the foot of the waterfall are happy critters…

… my baby and I had a lovely time here…

… and I’m pretty sure she’s forgiven me (:

June Gallery Update

Flutter and I finally got around to updating the work in our Soho gallery, and in our Venezia gallery (unfortunately Firestorm wouldn’t let me copy SLURL’s when I tried to get them for this post… first time that’s ever happened)…
