Wow - changing the material in the 3D printer is a revelation - the transparency reveals the structure. Yesterday was a really creative day in London – several moments of breathing in - How We Live Now: Reimagining Spaces with Matrix Feminist Design Co-operative. The show at the Barbican is very revealing - flagging up the concept of privilege. Architecture critiqued from a female perspective, looking at the underpasses in Birmingham is raw and obvious, who were these men and what were they thinking? The film Paradise circus by Heather Powell is particularly revealing of alternative thinking in 1988. I was struck by the statement they have used by David Graeber within the exhibition. “The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make and could just as easily make differently”. The bookartbookshop in Shoreditch is always a real treat, Tanya and Chiara are lovely people and the space itself is full of wonderment. A real must-visit if you are in London. Cycling on the bridges, crossing the water on a bike is something to behold, another recommendation especially on such a beautiful day. And then breathing out - the focus for the day was a f2f planning session at Kings. This year's synthetic anatomy module will be a triumph. Building on the last 4 years’ experience we are honing a truly beautiful thing, which is cherished and celebrated by the people I work with there - such a joy. Lateral thinking, problem solving, material understanding, communication, recording and presentation, all transferable skills that are valued, old school art school ways of being finding a place within the world of science education. Screens – the focus has been The White Lotus, beautifully crafted characters that get lost in the madness of luxury.
