an evening at the Tate Modern

Friday evening and we zipped through the Gauguin
 heading straight to the Tahitian pictures. I just wanted to eyeball them close up
to see if their colour was as good as I had thought it to be
and you know what..... it was better
strange, sensual, warm, exotic colour juxtapositions

The Unilever Series: Ai Weiwei

As those Tate people say .....

There are over one hundred million seeds, five times the number of Beijing's population and nearly a quarter of China's internet users. The work seems to pose numerous questions. What does it mean to be an individual in today's society? Are we insignificant or powerless unless we act together? What do our increasing desires, materialism and number mean for society, the environment and the future?
