the coil














"Εκεί που τελειώνουμε εμείς, αρχίζει η
θάλασσα"..

here is again one of my favorites poems by Kiki Dimoula..
These words, describe exactly my feelings at the moment.. I'm seating nearby the sea, feeling the "real freedom" & soul tranquility... it's like the water & the waves are extensions of myself.. 

When these words of Dimoula come in my mind I can see Anafi..

Now i'm in Santorini - my "half" hometown & I'm here for nostalgia.. I'll participate at the photographic section of the "1st Bienale of Santorini". The opening is tomorrow on 1st of August & if anyone is close I would be very happy to pop around and say hello!

my piece is named "blumbango coil", & it has much to do with my dream island!!

.."Πες "στιγμή", 

που φωνάζει βοήθεια ότι πνίγεται,
μην τη σώζεις,
πες,
δεν "άκουσα¨.

all the best!!

I'm so glad there are around me people with so kind soul!!

The artist Yalloo Lim is my new find!!

she came from greece she had a thirst for knowledge









































I used to hear this song when I was 16 years old & it was something like electric waves.
I was there, in their concert last year, I was there in Rockwave Festival in 1998!!
How amazing he can be!!

At the moment I take a course at Saint Martins, today was my second day,
& we went for some shopping.. & it was Liberty & Marylebone str. that stuck in my mind
& kept me thinking that London is the Capital city of fashion.. & so much textiles & fabrics
& patterns & hats (of course!).. I enjoyed it so much!!  So I'm just sharing some pictures
with u as a "garment" of my day!!

the picture on the logo is from the exhibition "E20 12: UNDER-CONSTRUCTION"
by the British photographer Giles Price which will be exhibited as part of this year's
London Festival of Architecture.

I'm sending u a rainy goodnight!!
