Trip to Liverpool

I visited the Bluecoat in Liverpool this weekend when I went to see my friend.  There is a new exhibition on at the moment 'Next Up' showing Liverpool's new working artists.  I loved a piece by Gina Czarnecki, there is a delicate mash of human dancers creating a sensitive texture on the page.  The composition was curious and unexpected and made me want to see deeper into the mash of limbs.  I was influenced by James Loftus, who deploys his functional sculptures to survey the city's dark matter.  The core of his project is the pinhole camera, which he used to capture 6 images of the city at one time, this is a technique I may use to preserve the area around my site.  His photographs were misty and delicate, and gave beautiful scenes.
