OUTSIDE – IN
Today we walked along the seafront & went to say goodbye to Caroline Wright who was spending her last day at her gilded beach-hut as part of the Towner Offsite project, "Impossible Changeling". 10 gilded pebbles each day have been distributed along the stoney beach in Eastbourne, and today as we walked along the beach, I found one!
I brought it home and as I thought about how to photograph it for the blog, I realised how many other objects I have brought in from the outside from walks over the years.
Caroline says "Bringing a pebble home into our personal domestic environment affords it a status – separated from the crowd the single pebble becomes a treasured artifact." The gilded stone reminds me of the golden dragees given out at weddings and at Christmas. I put it in a leaf pattern bowl with some felted pebbles given to me by friend & artist, Solveigh Goett. She called her pebbles "Stones in Sheep's Clothing"
