My favourite things.


It may well be a good idea for me to rename my blog: Diary of an Art student masquerading as someone who knows enough about the English Language to do a degree in it (?!!!). 


So, after a day of phonetics and literature reviews (?!?!), I felt a wallow in self-pity session coming on. I am choosing to re-package that as 'some of Mary's favourite Art works'. This will make me feel better. :)


Cornelia Parker's 'Cold Dark Matter: an exploded view' 1991



(above two) Fletcher Benton's 'Truckin' Geos'

Me, plus a little section of mosaic from Antoni Gaudi's Park Guell.
Christian Boltanski's 'The Candles' (I saw at the Shadow exhibition at Compton Verney 2007) 


(Above two) from Mike Nelson's 'The Coral Reef' installation.


Umberto Boccioni's 'Elasticity' 1912

Umberto Boccioni's 'Unique forms of continuity in space' 1913

Yeah, this has made me feel better.
