The Art of Decoration
Take a length of otherwise ordinary tulle...
...Add in a few bright baubles
And the green fruit of the Gods and Goddesses
Dionysus, Aphrodite, Pomona and Hera
And with a sprinkle of stars from the night sky,
You have a stunning table decoration.
It’s a simple idea
But the result is supremely elegant.
When it comes to the art of decoration,
You either have it
Or you don't!
Brava Maria
Take a bow.

The art of the terracotta pot!
They are mere vessels for something grander...
Aged and unkempt lurking behind doors...
They cluster in uncluttered ways...
Always appealing ...
Filling corners to perfection...
Stark...
Dramatic...
Occasionally a little worse for wear...
The art of the terracotta pot...
is simply beautiful!

The art of oxidisation!
Machinery worn with age looms from the brown earth like giant eagles ....
.... inside aged nuts and bolts sit camera-ready
and outside the cogs in a wheel discolour russet against a clear blue sky.
To replicate,
simply add iron, oxygen and a dash of moisture
and time....
.... lots and lots of time.
The result?
....a peek-a-boo disintegration
.... a delicate corrosion of metals
.... a vibrant oxidisation
.... in a word....
RUST!

The Architecture of the Arch
Santorini ....
the epitome of the architecture of the arch
Deftly hanging from the rock face
Or lapping at the Aegean ....
.... often interrupting and softening
.... and challenging the view!
It demands attention
.... creates drama
.... framing from within
and framing from without!
o
The architecture of the arch ....
.... forms simple lines
.... joyfully plays with light and shade
... and is visually,
such a pleasure!

A bridge from afar
Sydney Harbour Bridge photographed over a period of 25 years
In daylight, night light or twilight she never disappoints
For as she arches her way across the horizon
She is always art
Pure art!
