Let’s get back to a theme.
I’ve had a bit of a block this week and decided I was really sad when resorting to photographing paint brushes and cleaning products!
This week’s theme will be Textures.
This really does your eyes in if you look at it for too long.

ROD GOMLI by Ron Arad
Ron Arad came from his native Tel Aviv in 1973 to study at the Architectural Association in London; he worked briefly for an architectural practice, but one lunchtime he walked out, never to return. His first furniture project was the iconic Rover chair created from the reclaimed leather seats of the Rover 2000, and in August this year, more than 30 years later, he unveiled his latest sculptural seat, Gomli, at the Timothy Taylor Gallery.
The Gomli chair is named after a small steel figure that sits on Arad’s desk. “When we design chairs we always imagine the invisible sitter who could be male, female, old, young, large or small – so I developed the invisible sitter into a real figure. We nicknamed this sexless, ageless everyman the Gomli.
“The name might have something to do with my friend Antony Gormley. He uses himself as a model for his artworks, whereas Gomli is a one-size-fits-all figure used to represent everybody. Gomli has no preconceptions of beauty – he is designed for comfort.”

Comments rssOut walking the puppies today and the sky suddenly started to darken, threatening snow through the sunshine. The frost overnight had been very hard and the trees a frozen spectacle……and I had forgotten my camera!!!
Luckily I had my phone.
