Thanks @oakr! It was a stick my phone outside our loft window and hope for the best one. Really beautiful sky.

Wait… isn’t it red sky in morning (insert preferred outdoor trade) warning?

Should’ve I brought a brolly?

Lovely pic BTW

Walked past this morning… I’m going to miss them when they’re gone.

Wow, love the tone and drama in that photo

Yeah kind of weird - it was blue sky and sunny, yet the phone decided to do some weird colour balancing - I quite liked the effect so it’s totally unedited.

This photo is from the @HornimanMuseum, in the main reception area:

There’s info about the exhibition as a whole here https://www.horniman.ac.uk/visit/upcoming-exhibitions/as-i-live-and-breathe, but I’ve reproduced some of the blurb on this particular piece as it details an interesting additional dimension which isn’t immediately apparent on viewing alone:

Claire Morgan
As I Live and Breathe, 2019
Polythene, nylon, lead

This dramatic installation is composed of thousands of fragments of colourful waste polythene, torn by hand from used shopping bags. It suggests a dramatic movement, being pulled by gravity from overhead down to the ground below, halting the movement in order to freeze a fleeting instant in time.

Claire says “I wanted to make something suggestive of our constant resistance to the forces of nature, and of a situation on the point of dramatic change, of collapse. The synthetic ball-like forms are reminiscent of comets or meteors. For me, both in this work and in life, there is a jarring between the disruptive, unstoppable cycles of life and death, that ultimately govern us, and the superficial, seductive, safe and easily consumable things: colours, materials, objects that we choose to use to entertain and distract ourselves.”
