Art in Everyday Life

A sign that art is part of everyday life is when you see something that is not really seen as beautiful but regardless, there you are admiring the texture and form. Wishing you had a camera to capture the object that is intriguing you. These are not unusual occurances, it is often the actual object or location that makes it more interesting, or some would say strange.
Yesterday I was admiring the texture and form of something that really caught my eye. The more I looked the more interesting it became. I started to see what form this object could take, an angel, a wave... I then came back to where I was and what I was looking at. I was in a school toilet (canteen duty) and was looking at a once wet clump of toilet paper flung up high on the wall. On this realisation I did actually chuckle to myself but it certainly did not stop me thinking of how I could use what I had seen back in the studio!
(Sorry there's no picture, didn't have the camera with me!)

I am glad you don't carry a camera to the bathroom, they arrest people for that Clam!
I am thrilled however for the unusual you find in the usual!

Maybe you could start a new artform Ursula, I'm recycling tea bags, but not toilet paper as yet. I think your finished assemblaaaage looks fantastic (I'm not sure if I've used enough 'a's)

It is truly amazing what art lies around us everyday that we truly do not notice. It is wonderful to take the time to see things for me than they are isn't it. Love this post!
