I did these a while ago now, and at the time, had planned something for them, but unfortunately I wasn't able to do it. So, I thought I'd share them on here. 

These butterflies were sourced from a butterfly farm and were definitely not harmed in any way.

If anyone would like a print (between £5 - £25 depending on size) send me an email:

Nothing In The World But Youth

I spend a fair amount of my spare time in the Turner Gallery, it's so nice to see Margate come alive since it has been open. I suppose it will be even more popular now that the Queen has made a visit. The current exhibition could not be any more perfect for me. If only the Turner had been around when I was doing my dissertation. Nothing In The World But Youth features 94 artists and is named from a quote in one of my favourite books, Oscar Wilde's - The Picture of Dorian Gray - "Youth! Youth! There is absolutely nothing in the world but youth."

Sarah Lucas, Hannah Starkey, Rineke Dijkstra, Francesca Woodman, Jurgen Teller, Lisa Linvay, Phil Collins, Michelle Sank and so many more of my favourite photographers have work in the exhibition. I recommend it to anyone that lives nearby, it's definitely worth a couple of hours out of your afternoon.

View from outside the gallery and Rodin's The Kiss

One of the installations is a short movie by Salla Tykka, I'm sure I was shown this when I was at uni and I loved it then.

Miss You.

I miss you, Dymchurch.
