What I did this week

Last week I went to Kirsty E Smith's exhibition and artist talk at the Westbourne Grove Church Artspace. The show titled 'Close Encounters of a Frillip Moolog Kind' runs until 12th October and I would suggest taking the time to see it. Kirsty manages to seemlessly merge her love of modernist design and frilly madness. Her works are emotionally evocative and work on both a visual and intellectual level. With titles like 'Hyacinth' described as a lady of a certain age, it's impossible to not be completly beguiled by Kirsty's creations who she describes as beings. The viewer is encouraged to interact with the work and explore the many textures, forms and tones of Kirsty's beings.
