afoldedpresent

todays sounds running through my head include - Joe Goddard feat. Valentina – Gabriel. arrived home after a walk to find a wonderful present from Steel Sculptures in the driveway! @steelsculptures The cube is made of extra pieces from the work created for Goldlay Gardens in Chelmsford. It was manufactured by the lovely Paul and Cath over at http://www.steelsculptures.co.uk/index in Middleton. To entertainment - the online Snape showcase Festival of New Makers was superb - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heT4Esayg6U&t=1160s the series of films of work in progress highlighted some fantastic work both as pieces in themselves and something to look forward to. The process of demonstrating creativity was stunning with collaboration at the core of their thinking. Join the Din, Maz O’Connor, Shruthi Rajasekar & Reylon Yount, Nadine Benjamin, Charlie Grey & Joseph Peach, Emily Levy were all interesting and Max Baillie & Vahakn Matossian, were so sincere, but Dom Bouffard and his crew of glorious noise makers working in the abandoned space at Snape https://www.dombouffard.com/ was a fave. Meanwhile to screens – ma rainey's black bottom was a little like watching American’s do costume drama. Capital in the Twenty-First Century lays out, again, the injustices embedded within capitalism and talks about how the concept of capital has evolved to continue to serve those in power, power from the point of ownership. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5723056/ and we are now embarking on the latest season of Snowpiercer.
