Seen at my Carpet Pages II: Roots show last year

My Cloud Carpet painting is in the background and I love carpets because they are one of the best examples of how multiple colours can live together in perfect harmony and in fact create breathtaking beauty equalling more than the sum of their parts.

Anyone remember these toys? Viewmasters and stereoscopes. I loved Viewmasters as a child (small collection) and anything to do with the precursors to moving image and film. I studied 16mm film at the Slade as well as oil painting, and I trace my early interest to these toys.

Lanterns and tea bricks at Hutong restaurant at the Shard London. If my husband and I go out anywhere, there is usually an interior design inspiration reason too! They also had a moon gate as we do in our opium bed.

Great food also – the 鍋鎉豆腐 golden jade tofu with Chinese leek & coriander sauce was divine. It’s northern Chinese cuisine which I’m not used to so great to try something new.

Great name for a Chinese restaurant – succinct and to the point: Rice Coming!

Snakes and ladders is a game about life and death and good and evil and fate and chances. All tied up with the throw of the dice. I like how these profound mysteries are incorporated into children’s (and adult’s!) games.
