How to celebrate the city?
How to surprise?
How to transform the things the city throws away?

Thinking about natures place.
Natures treasure.
Weeds take over the city. Why not bottle them? Why not put them in a vase?
Glass jars and jam jars.

A colour change is a surprise

Something that is happening at the Chelsea Fringe this year that I am intrigued by is an event called Rocks



Where the Goldsmiths center is holding an exhibition looking into the use of rocks in silversmithing. Both using and drawing inspiration from.

This got me thinking into the mundane.
Using the throwaways and the ignored, transforming, surprise?
Lets start with some spray paint.


How to transform?
Another point of interest was Stuart Haygarth, in particular his frame installation for the V&A. But it was the varnishes and gold leafing that I am most intrigued by. Such beautiful colours and stains.
