Return of the Minstrel

Posted by naomi lethbridge on Wednesday, May 8, 2013, In : drawings 


I have begun installing my exhibition - opens Saturday at 7 if anyone is in the area - and am making a wall drawing.  Last time I was engaged in such an undertaking (assisting a friend, tis is my first time) I ended up spending a fortnight as Al Jolson.  Obviously people come into the gallery to have a look at what's happening during times I'm lying on the floor struggling to create a uniform field of lines.  I'm guessing I'll look particularly stunning in the photos taken by a local photogra...

The Problem of Li Ja Tuo Bridge

Posted by naomi lethbridge on Thursday, April 25, 2013, In : drawings 


This morning began with with some spectacular Sherlock Holmes style fog.  Walking up the road at 6:30 this morning I was on the lookout for any rogue Andaman Islanders or cyclists sporting fake beards.  I've begun to grow accustomed to being saluted by uniformed car park attendants - who wouldn't be out of place in an episode of Mission Impossible or a central American coup d'etat - but I worry I'll not get the same treatment from the NCP.  I was out at the University giving a talk and doing ...

Versatile Pie

The Dangers of Dimly Lit Grapes

Posted by naomi lethbridge on Wednesday, April 10, 2013, In : drawings 


I must begin by describing a harrowing incident which took place on Sunday evening.  Whilst talking with a local sculptor and his wife in a poorly lit area of a gallery, I nonchalantly popped what I assumed was a grape into my mouth.  Imagine my horror when it revealed itself to be an inappropriately shaped cherry tomato.  Unable to spit it out, I had to bravely power through it, before beginning a frantic search for some 'Great Wall' Merlot to take the taste away.

In another gastronomic adven...

On tour with Marcel Marceau

Posted by naomi lethbridge on Monday, March 25, 2013, In : drawings 

 
I have been aclimatising over the last few days and have thus far managed to avoid accidentally causing any diplomatic incidents, although a tank did drive down the street this evening but I'm sure it's nothing to do with me.  The city is vast, unending concrete towers seemingly sprouting from any available ground.  During my wanderings I've encountered the sock, vegetable and hardware night market, and it seems that I'm resident in the art materials and flip flop district of the city, which...
