Trip to Lakeside Gallery

  

Saad Qureshi

This incredible display at Lakeside was quite special. Saad`s fantasy landscape sculpture really blew my mind. This one colour, bulk of possibly cement used as the main material, but that is a guess as materials where not noted and i could not find more info on this online but it was a mix of what i assume to be concrete with a metal structure for the main bulk of the piece and then crafted, possibly wood buildings, temples and places he collected of others peoples views worldwide on a what their paradise would look like.. When i saw this i wanted to be shrunk to scale and aboard this sculpture to climb and explore its pretty yet plain coloured contour.

Walking the city

I Thought I would document the journey I take from my house to my favorite place. It is a place that I like to sit in, draw in, just be in and breathe in. A place that`s pretty and peaceful and full of nature. Scenes, sounds and smells are all around me in this place. It is a public place but very rarely busy so I feel relaxed here.
