I’ve been blogging at a new address, since I feel this blog has come to a natural end. Now I am blogging pictures, links, videos and all manner of beautiful things and daily inspiration with my good friend Gigi in New Orleans and hopefully my lovely Miss Peachbury as well. Let me know if you stop by so I’ll know to make a cake

Six Impossible Things

“There is no use trying,” said Alice. “One can’t believe impossible things.”

The space – a former dairy factory – was perfect for housing an extensive collection of fantastical drawings, paintings and sculptures. Little commentaries by the likes of Jarvis Cocker, Nick Cave and the big cheese of the art world, Hans Ulbrich Obrist, were fantastic ways of connecting the audience to the work:
