It was disappointing not to be able to do as much as I'd hoped in Italy, but on the other hand, there's generally interest and beauty to be found close by, if we slow down and look. Doesn't have to be "on the front row," as you say. . . Now to apply that principle at home ;-)materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-70269357801020693422018-01-20T07:47:58.619-08:002018-01-20T07:47:58.619-08:00This is a stunning work Tiffany -- I love it!!

For me, it's a privilege of having visited Paris so often that now I can enjoy just a day or two doing the small and the local -- and the offbeat -- as I wish, no agenda of major must-sees.<br />It's so satisfying getting one's belongings whittled down to what's actually manageable on a human scale. The database of what we own becomes ridiculously unwieldy otherwise, just by accumulation, a kind of entropy (although I know that entropy by accumulation is contradictory). materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-51460401756354395092018-01-20T07:43:13.341-08:002018-01-20T07:43:13.341-08:00Isn't it?

I think it's so important that art isn't regarded as something that we only see/experience - from a reverential distance - in a gallery. One of Sydney's train stations is being refurbished and a sculpture made from the old wooden escalators was commissioned and installed and it delights me every time I see it http://www.nationalgeographic.com.au/australia/wynyard-station-sculpture-is-a-nod-to-its-past.aspx Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536212906241844509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-90188858478817944642018-01-19T13:03:18.368-08:002018-01-19T13:03:18.368-08:00Love the Shen Yuan piece.

Thank you for sharing your offbeat Parisian discoveries.<br /><br />Nothing too much on the agenda for the weekend in my neck of the woods. I'm in a mega decluttering phase so another few drawers and cupboards will get turned out and a couple more bags will be ready for the charity shop, the recycling boxes, and the tip. Am finding it all rather compulsive, this letting go.<br />Hope you have a peaceful few days settling back into your home comforts after all your travels.Ceri in Bristolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-59841199159902701792018-01-19T07:04:26.414-08:002018-01-19T07:04:26.414-08:00Mon art/mon arc...nice...Mon art/mon arc...nice...Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10305981957174091874noreply@blogger.com
