Some patterns I've come across in London:
 |
| The floor on the 2nd level of the ICA. Designed by Jennie Moncur, it's a permanent part of the building's identity |
 |
| The ceiling of the King's College London Chapel, which is to be unexpectedly found in an unassuming room off what is an ordinary upper-level corridor |
 |
| Italian Maiolica pottery dating from the 1500s. I have never come across this type of pottery before in the flesh and was surprised to find out that it's that old. To my naive eye, the patterns and colours look so modern |
 |
| Two women embracing surrounded by all manner of animals and objects |
 |
| Another Italian Maiolica pot from the same display at the Wallace Collection. I was drawn to the shape of the jug and the elegance of the patterns |
 |
| I thought that this unevenly-shaped detail on the side of Southwark Cathedral looked like squashed oyster shells. I think I thought this because I had just come out of the fish section of the Borough Market where I'd been considering purchasing half a dozen oysters to eat for lunch... and then laid eyes on this detail. It was an interesting material to find wedged between between massive weights of stone |
