Posted by RichThis is my foil head self-portrait for Art Task Direct. ATD is run by my old college-mate and artist Greg Farndon. If you’re on Twitter give it a follow - there’s a new creative task every Monday.
Posted by RichWhilst I was in Bristol for Bread & Roses I also visited Puzzlewood to take some photographs. The light was amazing - it had just finished raining and the sun came out. Lots more on flickr.

This year’s Serpentine pavilion is excellent. Designed by Herzog & De Meuron and Ai Wei Wei the structure consists of a sunken pit lined with cork and topped with an almost circular pond. The design of the pit references the eleven other pavilions, showing the excavations and foundations of these previous buildings.
The effect creates a really comfortable place to sit. The seemingly haphazard layout creates an interesting space to explore and the cork makes it very tactile experience - you want to touch it and sit on it. It also has a dampening effect on the sound so it’s not too echoey.
Make sure you visit it before it ends on 14 October 2012.
