The art makes me hungry for cabbage, which is not a familiar sensation, I have to say.

Now I can't unsee it!

Wow a textile. I thought a metal sculpture at first. Cool!

[elisi]

I wish I could touch it.

Has anyone noticed that the tweet about Ben and Jerry's was from someone called "Cornish"? (Must buy more Ben & Jerry's ...)

[elisi]

I hadn't noticed, but now I'm chuckling. :)

While it's a nice piece of art, she clearly had no idea of the actual shape of tree roots...

[elisi]

I'm guessing that artistic license... :)

That's such gorgeous art!

[elisi]

I want to touch it...

Having worked with asylum seekers and heard their stories I would never turn people away. If you don’t realise these people have lost everything you aren’t thinking straight.

It's truly baffling. There seems to be an empathy vacuum. :(
