And if you don’t know how it relates to Turner Contemporary
and the “Risk” exhibition, read my post http://thanetonline.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/risk-in-margate-at-turner-contemporary.html
Anyway when I got back here last time to write the post I
couldn’t remember if it was dragons or elephants on the pot, no photography in
the exhibition, see.
So first thing I does, actually first thing I does when I
gets to the gallery is put my coat in a locker and go to the toilet – disabled
one actually because I wanted to sing fairly loud and didn’t want to spoil
anyone's aim in the gents. Yep first thing I does is go up into the gallery and
ask for an adjustable gallery chair to sit on so I can sketch the pot.
Quick pen sketch of the seismograph, which the gallery have
wrongly labelled a seismometer please note this is a sketch to remember the
thing by and not a sketch of the thing.
One big problem about sketching anything not vegetable or
mineral is that you tend to come away from the thing feeling a bit like you
have made love to it, the dragon wouldn’t let me draw its teeth, as you can
see.
If I was going to lecture a group of students about the
relationship between art and science, I would say “There is no relationship
between art and science.” and then spend the rest of the lecture sketching the
students, and refusing to say anything else about the subject.
I was feel a bit burnt out after the dragon so went off to the gallery and drew some young people,
as if the animal is human and alive there is a sort of return energy, so thanks.
On to Crampton Tower in Broadstairs where my children did “Slot
Racing” and pressed buttons.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
