London Field Notes

I was in London in February, gathering inspiration (and Covid!) - here are some macro shots of inspiration + the Chihuly sculpture in the atrium and the most amazing interior of the cafe in the Victoria & Albert Museum.

Blue and green Chihuly glass chandelier suspended under a grand domed skylight inside the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

Detail of Minoru Onoda’s WORK62-W (1962), showing flowing, topographic bands of red and orange dots with blue accents on a pale yellow-green ground.

Kurt Schwitters, Picture of Spatial Growths - Picture with Two Small Dogs - mixed-media assemblage of layered torn papers, tickets, receipts, and printed scraps arranged in a dense composition within a dark frame.

Ornate painted ceiling with gilded trim and three glowing spherical chandeliers in the Victoria and Albert Museum cafe, London.

Decorative doorway framed by patterned tilework and gold detailing inside the Victoria and Albert Museum, with a stained-glass window and chandelier visible beyond.

Tsuyoshi Maekawa, Two Junctions (1962) - abstract mixed-media painting with a stitched, folded burlap form on a blue-gray surface splattered with white paint.
