Holi, Festival of Colour

It's a ritual of colour enacted for centuries. Men from Nandgaon, Hindu god Krishna's hometown, march on Barsana in Mathura, the birth place of Krishna's beloved Radha, to put colour on women who wait prepared for them with sticks – mini battles break out amid explosions of colour.

The coloured powder is called 'Gulal'

The sheets were made from an electrically conductive material that lights up when a current passes through it!

I came across these beautiful photos when looking for pictures of a sweet factory for a project that I am doing. The picture at the top is of a young boy in Afghanistan who works in a small family run confectionery business. The other image just caught my eye - the colours, tiles, and subject.

A New Challenge....

I plan to record my love of colours, and colour combinations, especially ones that occur in everyday life......

Happy New Year!

I am starting the new year with inspiration from the beautifully bright, block colours seen in these vintage railway posters, a great contrast to the dull grey weather outside! Many were designed by Norman Wilkinson.

Alphonse Mucha

The whimsical world of Mucha; the pattern, detail, and colour all combine to create these magical images.

Battleship Dazzle

Dazzle Camouflage was an attempt by artist Norman Wilkinson to confuse the opposition by applying these obscure patterns to the ships for protection.

Charlie Todd for TED

A great talk from Charlie Todd, and the great power of shared experiences and an example of positive therapy on the underground!

The Draughtsman's Arms

For the WHAT NOW! Exhibition at Marylebone One Church this week, which is looking at the role of the architect in todays society. Gundry & Ducker Architects have created a pop up bar called The Draughtsman's Arms. We etched the interior of a pub on CAD, looking at the advancement in technology and the change in role of the architect from the past to the present. The Bar is a room and a drawing.
