Thoughts over coffee.

As I said, I went to Barcelona with my mum, (we walked very slowly, ) and I was blowed away by it. The Gaudi architecture was truly wonderful. His apartment building and family house were so innovative and out there when he designed them, full of ergonomic design that was both beautiful, symbolic and useful, and its still out there.

this is the attic!!!!

Why it hasn't been explored further who knows...

took some pics of mum in the Guadi flat, I think the figure in the environment really shows the timelessness. Might have to paint one of these.

In France I took lots of photos of alleyways and arches, -another recurring theme. I'll post them next time. I am still looking for the wrought iron gate with the lush green courtyard beyond. but in the search I've found some evocative places, might just print them tho' and do something with them, a maze, a book?

Finally, I'm still exploring choosing which persona to put on. Not just from a feminist angle, from a universal one... When we are young we explore who we are with different looks, hobbies, moods, clothes, music, friends, place we go to, etc etc, then it seams to me life chooses for us... I am playing again, as I mentioned I'm in a rockabilly band, I go vintage shopping again, and have been to rock and roll evenings, its fascinating because of course the others there are also playing this game. I want to explore this 'playing further'  how do others play... yoga, Trekkie's, motorbike rallies, its endless. and its good fun and very liberating...
