A pyramid - museums, stories myths. Also looks like a cheese wedge, we love cheese.
Sun / sound Rays - both are enriching and loved by Nurze Nurze.
Badly drawn syringe - nurzes.
Knife - cooking, cut n paste lifestyle. Analytical mentality. Not scared to cut it up n start again.
River Lee / IV fluid line. Always moving, love the marshes, straight into your body goodness.
Circles - two of us. Lenses of glasses / binocular.
Grass. Outside people. I love planting things, Lisa nurtures creativity, grass seemed to sum it up.
I really wanted everything to be representable with basic shapes and bright colours.
And subsequently made my good friend Charlie Potter a birthday poster portrait:
Charlie is an analytical (the eye peering down the telescope guy) who - like me - struggles with wanting to be doing / making /getting all the time and balancing this with enjoying time nurturing his social needs (scales). He studies ethics and is interested in social responsibility (again, scales and the beehive), as I understand it. I am fascinated with the structures he imposes on himself, I think in part as a test and in part out of desire to continue improving himself. For example being the best vegan, despite his true love for cheese (pizza). He has lots of talents, so I am happy not only to have the book and the pizza to signify writing and cooking, but to me the representation of the telescope looks like sound waves.
Hopefully now I have finished my course I will have a bit more time for this side of things again. I also later put a tonne of wobbly eyes on it, which to me scream A Thousand Plateaus / psychoanalysis in general, but I am not 100% convinced they work.
