Excuse the overwhelmingly lame post title.
At first glance, I thought this was some kind of awesome/abstract painting. But then you see the close up:
But what was even cooler was how the installation came to be:
“The original Tide Chandelier (2004) is part of a larger body of work based on the collection of ‘ man made’ debris washed up on a specific stretch of Kent coastline.” The artist, Stuart Haygarth collected material over many years and the work is still in progress.
Pretty cool, huh.
Just over one week into law and I’m already looking for things to make me feel a little more law-student savvy. Thanks to Borders and their 20% off sale for students and teachers, today I purchased my first John Grisham novel, “The Chamber” (Grisham’s an ex-lawyer, now author synonymous with the modern legal thriller). I’m into the first chapter and so far I’m thinking money well spent.
I’ve forgotten what it feels like to not be able to put a book down. I haven’t read a novel since those compulsory English literature high school days. And I haven’t read a decent novel since I can’t remember (maybe Harry Potter?) . But then again I was never one to read that much.
I think I’ve done more reading in the last one week than I did in the whole of last year. Ok, that’s a slight exaggeration, but it sure feels like it! I guess what they say about law is true.
Wouldn’t it be so encouraging to wake up and find all your clothes labeled with the tag “The Best”. Well that’s what this hilarious art project by Tamara Shopsin was trying to achieve.
Your mum’s most expensive silk dress, your dad’s favourite imported/custom made tux, your sisters… face – label them all! That way your loved ones can literally wear your heart on their sleeve.
I will certainly try this one day. To those who I call my friends, watch out!
Japanese product designer, Yuta Watanabe, is one innovative genius I tell you. Seriously, it’s worth checking out his other designs. It’s incredible how he fuses together two completely unrelated objects like a peg and a pencil.
