more exciting news

• went to the opening of Damien Hirst - Print Maker at the bowes museum in barnard castle and seemed to have caused quite the stir with my turquoise but what an amazing show of some previously unexhibited work, definitely worth a visit.
  

• the 'one and other' book which accompanies Antony Gormley's fourth plinth project from last summer, came out last month so having been plinther 1926 i rushed and got a copy. what a marvelous book would look great on any ones coffee table

• last month went to the opening of the Gerhard Richter exhibition at the new walk museum here in leicester. please make time to go to this - what a fanciful thing to have such a great artists work in leicester and for free! so no excuses! just on a giddy stupid note i met Sir Nicolas Serota while there so that should give you an idea of how important this exhibition is FYI hes the director of the tate so go see it!

• the lovely Chris and Lisa came to visit and chose a work for the charity auction that will take place during the ball they have been organising. with all the proceeds going to LOROS a local hospice helping terminally ill patients and their families. so lots of luck to them and hope they raise loads for such a great cause - will update you all on how they do when i know!
  

as i'm sure your eyes are tired by now and i think i've let you know all that's been going down in the world of loz i'll be off.

wont leave the next post as long so your eyes won't get mad next time kisses for now xx
