Down deep

The pearl on my necklace has pealed, it's just cream coloured plastic now. I slunk around the Brian Jungen exhibition. It was very crowded, and I don't like places like that. The work was amazing. Especially the three enormous 'skeletons' hung from the ceiling. Made from generic white plastic chairs. Made up as he went along. Very prehistoric, sea monsterish. Here's a picture of one:


Ever since I was young I've had a deep fascination with sea monsters. The kind with the long neck, often seen on old maps. The kind that were around when mermaids were. I love the idea of sailing out so far, no land in sight, miles and miles and miles below you. Diving off, treading water, free and vulnerable. Like an offering. Anything could swoop up from the depths and whisk you away to another world.
