Dr Anne had the day off today as she is changing from the late shift to the early shift. It is a 0400 start tomorrow. Whatever will one do so early in the morning?
Dr Anne headed down the route for the night bus. It takes 10 minutes fast walking to St Paul's Cathedral.
Dr Anne then crossed the Millennium Bridge to the Tate Modern.
Dr Anne had read the review of the Damien Hirst Exhibition in the Saga Magazine.
She had it on the to do list for this fortnight.
The exhibition was mind blowing. It was more interior design than art but it was amazing design. Dr Anne finds it difficult to describe. It was birth, it was life, it was death. It was light, it was dark (mood and colour). It was positive, it was negative. It was science, it was art, it was religion.
What did Dr Anne see?
- Hirst's mother had absolute faith in pills but scepticism in art.
- so -
- rows and rows of medicines on shelves
- rows and rows and rows of pills on shelves - pink pills, turquoise pills, cream pills
- the innards of the human
- The Gold Room
- rows and rows of diamond on gold and silver shelves
- Love of nature
- maggots giving birth living and dying
- two sheep (pickled?)
- a cow and a calf cut in half so you could see the outside of the animals and their innards
- a shark
- Love of butterflies
- butterflies in humid conditions flying around
- collages of butterflies with religious themes
- Painting
- spots
- swirls of paints
- Cigarettes
- rows and rows of tabbies
- enormous ashtray with spent cigarettes.
