Friday late at V&A

The theme was "Chinese new year - year of the ox". Lots of activities - including an "ox" being led round the museum. I managed to leave my camera at home, and didn't have my sketchbook either. "Crafted in food", exploring Chinese New Year traditions of food sculpture, came up with wonderful creatures made with potatoes, peppers, etc. Somehow we missed Lu Chunsheng's "simultaneously magical and hyper-real" video-films "contemplating the morphing symbols of our layered global imagination, constructing idiosyncratic narratives amidst the unstable remnants of shifting ideologies."

But making "fortune boats" with the designer-in-residence was fun - There are possibilities for lampshades with these shapes.
