august day >> it's dull but positive

today has been another day of trying to get things done. having achieved a bit I found myself waiting by the river near home. I was driving luca around in his preparation for his part in the hidden art exhibition (he is off to godolphin house in the morning). as usual while I wait anywhere I always try to find things that interest me. while waiting looking at the river I started thinking about the photo post cards that I first saw in the 1960's as below (I was just a child then). where often the colours were slightly too bright and the layers were sometimes out of registration. I took this photo (above) as the dull light was making any bright colours more prominent. it is hardly a great advert for a summer (august) day in cornwall, but I was pleased with the way its dullness made it attractive.

hidden art at godolphin house

I have to declare an interest in my plugging for this years hidden art exhibition at godolphin house, cornwall (Saturday 23 - monday 25 august) as my eldest son luca is involved both as a curator and an exhibitor. as I write he is still thinking and working on his piece to be installed as part of 'the courtyard' section, (see hidden art curated).


"This year guest curators from a range of backgrounds have been invited to collaborate with Hidden Art Cornwall on the project. Each curator has selected a room or exterior space at Godolphin and developed their own brief for the project, inspired by the setting of Godolphin House".
