Wow, who could believe that life could get busy again.
My sister has arrived home after seven months apart. There’s been lots of tears
and hugging and meet ups and meals out.
There’s been a visit to the wonderful Manchester Art Gallery to see
Grayson Perry’s Art Club exhibition.
If you’re wondering what all the fuss is about you can see the programme that
triggered the exhibition on BBC Iplayer.
All the works and programme were created during Covid lockdown.
This portray of Grayson was made using pasta and soya sauce.
Here’s me blending in with some of the artwork.
Barbie in lockdown made me chuckle.
The exhibition is, I feel, not about how good or bad a piece of art is,
it’s the stories that accompany the pieces and how we are all in this together.
How true
If you can’t get to the exhibition the book that shows every piece of work
and excerpts from the programme, is available here
It felt very comfortable walking round, everyone was respectful of each others
space and we had a coffee and cake in the gallery’s cafe and visited the shop.
There has been a girly meet up at our favourite tearoom, Park Farm, before Jill goes back
to Oxford. She’s taking Mum with her for a couple of weeks for a bit of a holiday.
In Mum’s cottage garden with a beautiful Saxifraga plant from
Park Farm Garden Centre.
I’ve finished reading Jay Blade’s book Making It. That was an eye opening
good read. Tonight I will be making a start on Brit Bennett’s novel
The Vanishing Half.
A story of twins, inseparable as children, who in adult life lead
individual lives. One twin as a white woman and the other as a
black.
There’s a bit of crafting been going on but I’ll save that for another day.
See you soon
Lynn
