How's it back in london town

There is definitely something about London that makes people just look so much better than anywhere else. I always return home resenting the fact that I don't live there but nevertheless the thought of using the tube everyday is enough to keep my feet firmly in Birmingham soil.

My best friend Lucy agreed to letting me drag her around some art galleries, but we also took a trip into Camden because we had had enough of arty fartiness and wanted to see what Camden Town was like.

Started off our journey with a free personalised Starbucks Latte. Accidently threw the cup away though.

First stop was Tate Modern

The two photographs above were taken in Room 12 and it was called 'I'm Here, but Nothing'. Kusama created this to convey her hallucinatory visions. It reminded me of what you would imagine a 1970's club room to look like. 

You can't take pictures in the Yayoi Kusama exhibition which is extremely annoying but I managed to get these sneaky shots. Kusama's work was eccentric and weird yet wonderful.

Next we went to The Barbican to see Song Dong's 'Waste Not' exhibition. As cliché as this sounds, you have to see it to believe it. 

All in all a lovely day in lovely London.

(Disposable pictures coming soon)

"and what is the use of a book," thought Alice "without pictures or conversation?"

Back in the summer of 2010, which seems like ages and ages ago now, I was sifting my way through a pile of books in a charity shop and came across a little treasure that looked old and smelt funky so I decided to buy it and turn it into something arty. Thought this would be a nice way to start my blog because I love Alice in Wonderland and my name is Alice too so hey-ho here you are.

P.S I hate hate hate annotating my work so, unless someone asks me to, I'm not going to explain because who cares anyway so long as it looks good (wise words from my art tutor)

Hello, I'm Alice.

I am currently in the process of completing my art Foundation year, and preparing to study Fine Art at University.

I will be updating with my new artwork, and anything else that is inspiring!

So stay original,
