Winter Trees

Leamington Spa Art Gallery and Museum. Until 16 November 2014

Bought a 30 minute car park ticket and used it in a loiter about the gallery. With nil in my stomach, I contemplated Jacqueline Donachie's 'Winter Trees' installation (2008). The black blob is her leather skirt. Full analysis here.

'Incandescence’, by William.

'Hick, hack, hock,
Rinky tinky on purple grass,
Shafts of light, hob-nail boots,
Tramping down the bamboo,
That grows upwards, downwards, sideways,
Into the Concrete Cosmos,
Life is mauve,
I am orange,
Hick, hack, hock.'
