It's museum day and few places are more rejuvenating for the soul than a museum or art gallery. To celebrate this fact I took some time out of my day to go see an exhibition I've been meaning to see (but typically haven't got round to) by an environmental artist Tony Plant called Walk. Stop. Walk. Which seems apt when I spend far too much time walking past the Royal Cornwall Museum and not stopping to see what delights are going on inside.
It's a modern preconception that we haven't got the time, just to be and appreciate the little things in life. I loved being alone in the gallery and taking a moment just to be and look.
As often
is the case I find with exhibitions, it's often not what you went to see that
leaves it's indelible
mark on you. Being a fan of Tony Plant amazing beach sand art I was expecting the exhibition of photos rather than paintings of walking through the landscape.
Having paid my entrance fee and only food shopping and housework to entertain me in the outside world, I thought I'd take a look at the exhibition in the opposite gallery.
Called Metamorph, it was an exhibition by Cornish born Boo Beaumont, who has brought home her latest exhibition of innovative film and XRay photos of shells and flowers (and were a lot prettier that Matts elbow ones!). Some of the images were like Mandala and all were simply beguiling - well worth a visit.
