All in one space

“Transitioning from working to socializing to eating within minutes — all in one space — is making me more self-aware of who I am as a person, and certain mental transitions that do/don’t happen (as there are no longer external factors, such as a commute, change of environment, or even change of clothing to trigger those changes).”

Glorious Beast

Anonymous

“I was driving through my neighbourhood, slowly. I caught this image out of the corner of my eye. It struck me. What a sight. I carried on home, before turning around and returning to have another look. I’m not sure what is more ridiculous, this facial marking, the pride, the position, or that I returned to see this awesome beast in all his glory. And he hadn’t moved at all, 15 minutes later. The pattern here is less obvious. I am seeing so much more in the everyday…”

“Once you start looking patterns are everywhere - especially in nature. Focusing in on one part of something can mean it becomes something else entirely. This cabbage reminded me of an alien intestine when removed from its context.“

“The car parking area at the back of our block of flats is a chalk canvas for our neighbours, who have two young children. They weren’t around when I spotted this. I was meaning to ask them about the pattern going up the trunk and whether these were windows. But the next day it rained.”

“My new work pattern at home involves paying attention to shadows. Shadows on the wall in the morning tell me when it's time to start. Then shadows on the opposite wall in the evening tell me when it's time to stop. On cloudy days I simply look at the clock.”

"Lots of to do lists! Mostly not complete... working in the same space, my lists become a mixture of work, study, physio exercises - I also now don't lose them like I usually would. A lot of my life just orbits around the same surface."

Cat Prints

“So these are paw prints. From dirty cat feet. On the door of the laundry cupboard. You see in the night the cat sneaks in the door left ajar to get her food. When she’s done she can’t just jump down, but has to throw herself high at the door to crash it open and give her space to land. Clever. But makes a real racket.”
