Subarquitectura

Suarquitectura's running track in Elda Spain brilliantly adds another mound like section of track as both a roof to cover the changing rooms and also to provide seating for viewers. I really like this, there is initially an element of fun, (with almost childhood scaletrix ideas,) but the more I look the more I appreciate it's subtlety. It's important to note how good this looks from the outside too. Provincial athletic tracks are normally dead flat and very boring , with everyone standing at the same level. But this has a very individual personality, and I would imagine a certain magnetism because of that. 

Busy Busy

As you all know, crazy busy at the moment so it's a drip feed blog. I have NOT given it up, so keep checking, and expect much more in a few weeks. In the mean time: a cute concrete lamp and giant watch print T-shirts.
Both sound very wrong, but look very good.

Heribert C. Ottersbach

Ottersbach really does it for me, combining many of my interests - urban landscape, monochrome, division of a rectangle, modernity and process - all at Ben Brown Fine Arts.
"If painting still wants to be taken seriously within the overall social discourse, and not be dismissed as office, insurance, or bank building-compatible service, it must establish its canon anew. Less is no longer more."  

Phew. I am broken. Working crazily trying to get this project done over the last week or so. Nearly there and will post some decent pics soon.
