Happy Theme Thursday

paper

An installation art piece by Lu Shengzhong, an artist from Beijing, using hand-cut paper figures carefully arranged in vistas and landscapes, swathes, crowds - assembled as screens or walls, with blocks of the negative cut-outs.







"I use paper to cut this little red figure to demonstrate he delicate fragility of human beings. Ephemeral. A human's life is shorter than a paper's thickness. The material is not important. What is more important is the process you use to create that material. This is more valuable to me." Lu Shengzhong.


The piece below is entitled The Book of Humanity.





from an exhibition at the V&A in London in 2008.

thank you to Theme Thursday for the prompt to revel again in the luxury and privilege of having access to so many books

pointless

I was sure I had a photo somewhere of a graffiti-ed "whats the point?"

But, I couldn't find it.

Maybe I shall scrawl it on a wall today?

I did find this, which I felt was close.....




and also, a pointer (pointing at a hen)




and some railway points

Happy New Year and Happy Theme Thursday!


I wasn't sure I'd be back here for a while, I'm finding so little time for blogging these days. To be honest, little more than no time at all. But..... here I am, can't quite let go, and will really seriously try to visit some of you too fairly soon.....
