Blind Light












Saw (half - the rest was closed due to flooding!) the Antony Gormley exhibition at the Hayward last week.

I rarely get to see a sculpture installation with works all by the one artist, so it was great to see how one creative mind evolves.

I'd seen photos from when Mum & Dad went to check out Another Place at Crosby Beach, and I'd run into one of the statues from Event Horizon while walking across Waterloo Bridge one evening.

Once I learnt more about the purpose of Event Horizon - 30 statues situated around Southbank all facing towards one of the Hayward's sculpture terraces, it all seemed a little more impressive.

And I had prepared myself to enter Blind Light ... not that I knew what I was letting myself in for!

To experience such disorientation when there's so much light is fascinating.

I'm going back.

After the wedding's over ...

Much fun was had.

Much dancing was done.

Much posing in the spa and sweating in the steam room was enjoyed!


Not to mention the delightful country walk thanks to the Tour de France ...

Congratulations to the happy couple :)

Going to the Chapel!

but I'm certainly not getting married!

Will be celebrating my first UK wedding though, as well as a great weekend away with friends. And everyone involved is someone I've met since I've made London my home ... it really is home now.

If only I could decide what to wear :)
