Blues, St Ives and The Tate

17 Mar

The sun shone today so we went to St Ives on the train. Just look at the vibrant blues of sea and sky!

Just loved the Outi Pieski exhibition at Tate St Ives.

Duodji is a Sámi word meaning art, handicraft or home-craft. Outi Pieski created the beautiful ‘three-dimensional painting’ Beavvit / Rising Together Il with women duojárs (duodji practitioners) using traditional Sámi shawl-crafting techniques.

What a day full of beauty we have had!

    I had the same blue sky here in Oslo today! And yesterday I went to the National Museum where there was an exhibition of another Sami artist. Here’s the link. https://www.nasjonalmuseet.no/en/exhibitions-and-events/national-museum/exhibitions/2024/britta-marakatt-labba/

      Lovely to hear from you and delighted that you had blue skies too. They have been very rare here this year. Thank you for the link. I shall go there now. Have a good time in Oslo – peace walking again? 🙂
