Book after Book

Strolling around Bexhill-on-Sea on a sunny Sunday afternoon, I walked past a shop whose autumnal window display caught my attention. It included books, yes! I’m afraid to say that, apart from knowing that it’s located on Sea Road, I don’t know what this shop sells. Vintage furniture and accessories, perhaps? No idea. It was closed and I was too busy trying to take a picture of this beautiful, rustic arrangement to investigate!

Last summer I went to see an Antony Gormley exhibition at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea and came across a temporary art installation entitled " Introspective Retrospective ". The artist is the Japanese Tomoko Takahashi, who is known for her "playful recycling of everyday detritus of everyday life into illuminating works of art". Needless to say, I felt a stabbing pain in my chest when I saw a copy of Moby Dick "playfully recycled" as pictured above!
