I went to see this great exhibition at the weekend at Camden Arts Centre of Jim Hodges work. The show is so beautiful, fragile and ephemeral.  I love the installations he did using silk flowers and leaves, so amazing.

One of the things he seemed to be fascinated with is cobwebs, they appear in a lot of his work and also made one out of chains which was so beautiful, the way the chains catch the light, just like a real cobweb

Can't leave without another shot of my favourite piece.

The Cineroleum

One of my friends has been involved in organising The Cineroleum.  Its a cinema in a derelict petrol station in Clerkenwell in East London.

It has primarily been constructed using donated and found materials, the seats are made out of reclaimed scaffolding boards.  They are showing cult classics such as Rebel without a Cause, Barbarella, Alphaville and Buster Keaton shorts.

Am so excited have booked tickets to see D.O.A. on Sunday, so will let you know how it is.  Its so great to hear about projects where people are reclaiming derelict and disused spaces and turning them in to something wonderful.
