We helped her to format a looping DVD of a piece of art she had made called Flatland by Rachel Pimm, which can be found on vimeo http://vimeo.com/61034410 - you can watch it in high definition.
The film is a play on the way we construct our living space and inhabit these spaces. Are the spaces real or just a stage, are the inhabitants real or just actors, is the dialogue spontaneous or a construct?
How much of our lives are truly spontaneous, and how much is constructed?

She also exhibited a piece of sculpture that was a duvet that is made to look like a block of marble.
It was a good opportunity for her to get together with Amanda, one of the Auto-Italia art crowd, who was showing some art and some horticulture.
Today we just went for a ride, since Rachel has not been on the back of my BMW F800 R before.
I took the opportunity of Rachel being home to ask her advice on an art exhibition I am planning to have in the Spring or summer. I am going to do a series of portraits of family members in an unfinished oil portrait manner, with a graphic design that holds the series together in one room. It is going to be called "We are all connected"
This is what one of the portraits looks like in a very unfinished way, but perhaps I shall work on it a little more. This one has just taken two hours. Not a very good likeness yet! Guess who?
