I'm working for a lovely company in Docklands at the moment, I love it here, everything is so grand and sparkly and I get to walk along the river in the morning. During my walk to the tube station yesterday I passed One Canada Square (I was a bit lost) where I was excited to spot, through the splendid windows, a stunning display of paper dresses as part of an exhibition called Paper Tiger by Susan Stockwell. Now, I can't find any pictures online but I'm going to get up super early tomorrow and visit the exhibition (it's open to visitors on Monday to Friday from 6am to 12am and Saturday and Sunday from 7am to 11.30pm) hopefully I will be able to snap a few sneaky pictures without being escorted out by security. For the time being, these are a few images of her work.

Also at Canary Wharf at the moment is the London Screen and The London Festival of Architecture.

Train of Thought

Hm... So many things to say, I don't really know where to start.

I was just reading through the striking blog 2 or 3 Things I Know and I was reminded of the work of Jessica Stockholder. I looked her up to marvel at her fabulous installations when I found Led Almost by my Tie, 2007 a collaboration between Stockholder and poet Jeremy Sigler. The book content is a Sigler poem which has been deconstructed and reconstructed by Stockholder and is made using layers of translucent and transparent mylar, plastic and paper pages, letterpress, lithography, digital printing and hand colouring.


Okay, so then I was looking through the Booklyn website when I found this amazing list of limited edition artists publications. Actually, the whole site is packed full of great info and images. I particularly like House of Ghosts by Marshall Webber, Christopher Wilde and Mark Wagner because I love architectural drawings, blueprints, lovely paper and transparent, ephemeral things.

Then I wanted to read some poems by Jeremy Sigler and I came across this interesting list of Artist/Poet collaborations, most of which I haven't seen before. You can flick through the pages to see the images and read the texts.

Now I Know, Jeremy Sigler

there is wind
so still
breeze so flat
turbulence
so dead
now I know
there is a point
between here and
near the still, flat
dead of you
beside the night sea
off the shore of me
