a day in peterborough with david and a whole bunch of land rovers

thursday i meet up with david for a quick cup-o-nespresso. i have two

here you go, dd

on my way to oxford to meet david. from there we drive to peterborough

of all the vehicles on display, this is the one i wish is mine

i unpack my new origami paper i bought from green & stone’s. as pretty as it looks, the texture is not suited for folding

i manage to get some work done on anna’s polyhedron. for now this is eve and her lucky star

my sister head out to the v & a for a lecture by yves bahar, part of london design week

it’s pouring outside but attendance is good

yves is charismatic and brilliant but i’m not sure i subscribe to his view on technology being the be-all and end-all

afterwards we dine on burgers in south ken

i reunite with my high school spanish teacher mr. duckett. but these days i simply call him ‘peter’. this is one of the very pretty sketchbooks he gifts me

my sister, new friend alice and i visit the ai weiwei exhibition at the royal academy

straight } my favorite work there, this work is composed of hammered out rebars collected from collapsed schools after the sichuan earthquake of 2008

alice and i pose in front of weiwei’s trees

later on we catch a lecture by wolfgang buttress, who discusses his work ‘the hive’, now on display at the milan expo 2015

the day cannot be complete without a trip to the hummingbird bakery

salted caramel is mine and black bottom cake is hers. mine wins

and i’m happy
