Read the review by Edmund de Waal on Lucie Rie and a new book about her by Emmanual Cooper in yesterday’s Guardian. I got to considering if a Fairy Godmother offered me a bowl by Lucie Rie or an installation by Edmund de Waal which would I choose? Assuming the value being equal ………. well what would everyone else choose before I give my answer?
Edmund de Waal for me, ever since the Whitworth gang went to his mesmerising show at MIMA, Middlesbrough.
Why not Edmund de Waal pot? Or look online at Lucy Rie supa sale!! Why are we all at computers when we are having a sunny day??? I’m putting off garden jobs.
Me, I’d have a Lucie Rie pot so long as Ed.de W would present it to me! But seriously I think of buying the book-incidentally Edmund spelt Cooper Coper although the Groaniad man anglicised it. Re: the hot weather , it’s almost too hot here but I have done some gardening-well brushed up fallen petals from the wisteria and pulled up some dead pansies if you can call that gardening.
Now delaing wiht htis and others before I get ‘is tea. At the deli in Hale they have WAG sandwiches ( Wallace and Gromit i.e Wensleydale cheese and chutney) see ya the morrow.
