A Falling Garden

I came across the beautiful works of Steiner & Lenzlinger on a random Swiss website recently and was amazed by the beauty, scale & concept of their work. I can imagine it must be quite a breathtaking site to see in real life.

I'd love to tell you more about them but I don't know any German! But if you do, please feel free to find out more on their site here.

Today was not the greatest, I had to queue for 20 mins to pay for my food in the university canteen and by then my food was cold :(, but I did buy a Galaxy chocolate bar later and it made me feel much better, hope your day was good. Oh, and thanks so much for all your comments yesterday wishing me good luck with the shop, love you all! :)

Where I really want to be right now is

Beijing. Chinese New Year is two weeks away and I'd love to soak in all the festive mood to remind me of so many great childmood memories. Then again I wish that every year, what is so different this year is that there is this Dior exhibition at the UCCA. Christian Dior recently commissioned a set of top Chinese artists to work with some of their archive pieces, the artists were asked to basically artistically express Dior.

Li Songsong’s 23-feet high Lady Dior Bag is made out of carefully interlaced fluorescent tubes - so want to see this in person!

These photos by Quentin Shih are so stunning, the series is named "The Stranger in The Glass Box", you can see more photos here.

The ticket price? 15 yuan, that's about $2 or £1.50!!! So envy of those currently in Beijing & currently walking around the exhibition now!

PS: currently experimenting with blog layouts at the moment, I'm trying to see if I can post bigger images. Anyway, yesterday's playing around was a huge disaster, somehow I managed to mess up my blog header image so can no longer display one (the current one is set as background) & also LOST ALL MY BLOG LINK LISTS! I had to rejog my memory pretty hard to recreate one but since it was 2am in the morning, I probably left someone out, so please let me know if you were on the link list so I could add you again, apologies!
