Thank you Dr Jo Dahn for inviting me.


Debbie Smyth's 'It's a small world' (Site- specific installation with thread and pis).
I liked to look at the viewers interaction with the object and how the light created shaows, it is a funny process between the space and movement. Sometimes, the viewer crossed the line to go into a new world. Maybe the viewer would like to find out a new location.
 




This is Rob Rowles's work called' Kilve' is a photographic print's work. The red chair is easy to catch out my eyes don't feel strange. It seems have a wonderful relationship with the landscape.





This is Fiona Hainess's ' Nil by Mouth' (Sound byte- recording of lift).
 I find out it was not easy to see the work, I just liked to record that moment, I could see just the people behind the lift.




Joanne Barlow - Industrial Houses(2012) (Ceramic structures)
 I tried to lie down such as a child to take pictures. They are tiny houses much like a toy for me. I didn't think think that the title suggested industrial houses.




This work is from Deirdre Levy - An Cailleach (hand made papers,dyes,pigments,thread and pencil) The piece showing the process of the times, how the maker had made it.


The piece was hanging on the wall nearby the corner.





This funny piece is Sara Mark -Mundus (2013) Installation with ash, English honey water, bucket and brooms. I was not sure weather this piece belonged to the building or not. I almost nearly ruined the art work with my foot. I tired to smell the honey,,, it was a little sad,,,I could not smell anything.




I like the spcae as the lighting is quite dark, it seemed to easily interact with the auidence.
The objects are suggestive of speaking for themselves.The space is pretty relaxing, it is not too serious.



Now, welcome ......



Also, I made a drawing for myself to review 'the map is not the territory'.

What a nice surprise- a unicorn





A unicorn in the sky......

This is my first picture taken from the window of  Georgian House in Bristol (UK) 
It is quite a surprise to see a unicorn, I drew a couple of fun pictures to remember that moment.




 Happy unicorn dancing in the sky....




 Maybe sleeping in the sky,,,,


From the inside of Georgian House, I like the lighting with the shadow,it seems to talk to each other.
