Postcard: Greetsings from Ohio, 1950s.

Infinite Path

” … in my experience, Tokyo crossings are very much like the circular paths as I have been encountering here in traditional Japanese gardens, thoughtfully designed through the garden-city landscape. People immerse themselves in their (digital) worlds but at the same time they belong to this extended »flock«, moving, at intervals, without catching an individual with its touch. Solitude in gardens is an obvious thing, whereas in multidirectional pedestrian crossings, it is different, the dynamics between an individual and the crowd is extremely intense and fluid. Sequences of red and green are structuring the choreography of life, of walking and standing still. The movements, voices, words are folding the noise and silence fields of time …”

#Reposted from @whoopidoo.ings - This is my art haul from the @twitterartexhibit

I bought Mawcoo by @art_by_tracybond within seconds of the exhibit opening. I always buy a highland coo when I visit Scotland and I fell in love with this one .

The autumnal watercolour bay leaves by @madartchick had been my favourite of all the uploads I saw prior to the event, so pleased I got it

@malcowie's Castle on the Rock and @ingunnmoseng's Parashanti were hanging within two boards of each other and I couldn't stop looking at them both. Like they were telling a story together and I couldn't buy one without the other .

@barbarana_illustration's Mothers Day is spooky and sweet at the same time, makes me wonder at the story that's behind it

My artists came from Norway, Scotland, London, Melbourne... what a lovely mix

I've tagged @lostdogsart card for all her friends. Sad we couldn't meet up this time but fab to see your gorgeous work in real life
