All Tomorrow's Parties.

I can't remember where I took this quote from, but it was definitaly worth capturing in a picture. This could be the introduction to one of my future works. Crazy fun, desperation, damage, affection, solitude.. I have got loads of ideas.

Discovering The Waterfront.

One of my tasks for uni is that of having to re-design an album cover. I have picked Discovering the Waterfront by Silverstein, one of my favourite ever. My work will also be inspired by Caspar David Friedrich's paintings and by an architectural work I had the pleasure to during my visit at the Saachi Gallery; that of Richard Wilson (20:50) which I suggest you check out -or better, go and see.

This is just an outline of what I am going to follow for my project, it was done in class today using Photoshop in about 20 minutes. More, I want to refer back to Shel Silverstein's childrens books, to give the album cover a lot to talk about. I want it to be like a story, and be able to explain every single detail of it. I believe supporting ideas and decisions is essential for my purpose. I'll keep you updated!

My Goal.

The main thing in my mind is Central Saint Martins.

I have to get there as a Product Design student, I mean.. I HAVE TO!

I have never been ambitious, but this is just something I am obsessed with day and night and night and day. That would mean everything to me. Maybe that is also one of the reasons why I decided to set up this blog: keep a collection of daly inspirations, thoughts and anything that can help me to achieve my final goal.

As I told one of my lecturers on the fist day of uni '' If I don't get into CSM I might as well go back to Italy next year ''.

Any kind of suggestion -or support, will be greatly appreciated!

Saachi Art Gallery.

They were also making sketches.

Day spent at the Saachi Art Gallery. So much inspiration..

''We wish we could look like them''.

It is was difficult to decide which installation I liked the most. Though, I have to say the most impressing was that by John Wynne in which he used 300 loudspeakers, a pianola and a vacuum cleaner to create a unique piece of art, which I would love to re-create in my future home -obviously, space permitting.

I suggest you check out his website for further information.

Sunday.

Saturday night was great. We went to Hybridlife (www.hybridlife.tv), an art department not far from Old Street's tube station. I couldn't help it but noticing the beauty of the place. I mean, there were no windows, but the spaces were large, though the ceiling not too high, and while everyone was going crazy about the music, I sometimes started thinking of how those three room could have been furnished. Weird, uh? This is what I mean when I say I want to live along with art, in all its forms.

Hyde Park and Deckchairs.

She's a photographer as well.

Even thought the weather seemed unpredictable today, I decided to get my camera and sketchook and head to Hyde Park. Back in Italy, the gray sky meant the 'i-don't-want-to-go-out-is-such-an-ugly-day' kind of thing. In London, on the other hand, it helps seeing things from an alternative perspective. I sometimes find myself smiling for no proper reason, but I realize some people notice and smile back.. even on dull days.

But this is not my point today. As I was walking I ran into painted deckchairs. You are all probabily thinking: 'So what?'. Well, what was extremely amazing about these were their bright colors, in contrast with the sky, the water, the trees. Their strength, I would say, was the atmosphere in which they were collocated, nothing taking from the great illustrators and graphics which designed them. I am not saying the chairs wounldn't have looked good on a sunny day, but you know.. there was something mystic yet extremely romantic about the setting.
