Our jolly good fun day out

Wendy and I went up town today to see the Antony Gormley exhibition.It was brilliant , as expected, and the fog room was quite an experience. The fog really did restrict visibility to a hand in front of your face .It was wet and , cold and bright and more than a little claustraphobic.

Why did he make this installation , you may ask.

I quote from the author

"Architecture is supposed to be the location of security and certainty about where you are.It is supposed to protect you from the weather, from darkness, from uncertainty.Blind light undermines all of that.You enter this interior space that is the equivalent of being on top of a mountain or at the bottom of the sea.It is very important for me that inside it you find the outside. Also you become the immersed figure in an endless ground, literally the subject of the work."

Yep, just as I thought(!!??)

There were loads of other greatly moving exhibits also and my idea of art is something that elicits a good response from you or something that is obviously incredibly talented.

This was the former. Well worth a visit.

Wendy broke her oyster card on the way by sticking it in the machine instead of touching it on the yellow circle.She blamed me of course saying she had just copied me.

Yes , well, hey there, I had a one day travel card!!

We walked over Waterloo bridge , had a wicked sausage toad in the Wellington pub and then mosied back through the embankment gardens.

Got home before the rush hour.Great day out.Knackered now.
