september 10 } at the airport in kuwait, reemy met us for coffee. for the first time in ages, my being in kuwait and her visiting have been out of synch. i’m going to miss her

for the first two weeks we are staying at my dear friend anna’s in kennington. she’s out of  town (another miss) and was generous enough to allow us to housesit

down the street it was donor kabob for dinner

anna’s hippo

september 11 } eve got up to her shenanigans on anna’s windowsill, inspired by linda fennigbauer’s charming postcard

after breakfast yasmine and i sat in st. luke’s park on sydney street. we really miss this place

after a customary trip to green and stones and a light lunch we headed to the saatchi gallery for the start art fair

waiting for naz on the saatchi steps

i’m completely in love and utterly inspired. kwang young chun’s pieces make me want to do things

gorgeous. both pieces reminded me of food. the one above evoked feelings of munching on traditional bahraini pastries and this one…well…cheetos. so beautiful. but not because of the edible analogies

every one of these pieces was individually dyed, wrapped in mulberry paper and tied with string made from the same paper

wire men

this cabinet is like a box of dreams with…

…this inside

chim pom’s wonderful ‘hiroshima!!!’ warranted a ‘get ready for this’ by naz, who had stepped in and back out to prepare me for what i’d see

back ‘home’, this’ll be my work station for the next couple weeks
