Mirror, mirror...

A busy few weeks, holidays, Art in the Pen and still endless mosaic.
On our hols to Glen Farg in Scotland, just North of Edinburgh we had a few trips out to Dunfermline (lovely), Edinburgh (huge!) and Glasgow (disappointing). We had gone to Glasgow for the Gallery of Modern Art which we had been to years ago and I had loved. After a long drive, subway journey and a walk we found the gallery and it was as great from the outside as I remembered. Unfortunatly I was so disappointed by the content. Despite this we did enjoy the actual building itself from the beautiful stained glass windows...



...to the inspired mirrored walls in the entrance way.





As we returned to the subway and the car we passed another enormous mirror effect, this time a big mirrored glass building reflecting the older buildings opposite. So not an entire dead loss after all.

Fame and Fortune! Well fame anyway!

See Petri from all angles on the Leeds Today programme, an online news show that recorded me (!) and Petri in a short interview earlier this month. I'm quite pleased with the end result as it shows quite a lot of my work but also shows a guided tour of my rubbish in the dining room!! Not quite what I had imagined. Oh well anyone that knows me will have seen the mess in there anyway.
