Wear it, Flaunt it


Went with Charlotte to the Wearing Glass exhibition at the Oxo Gallery. Lots of interesting uses of mixed media, though as Charlotte pointed out, if the glass craftsmanship was up to the mark, the chances were that the metalwork wasn't. In other words you can't be a butterfly -- which is essentially what I am. However, I wasn't that struck by the craftsmanship generally: some of it very naff. And if it's wearable glass, then shouldn't that be part of the brief? That you actually can wear it, I mean. Not pose for a photo in it.
