"Our goal is simply to point out irregularity as a device, to show the necessity and the importance of irregularity in art."

Egyptian architect Hassan Fathy, “poet of raw earth,” advocated for the return of “vernacular earth architecture,” devoting his career to rediscovering the increasingly lost and forgotten forms of traditional Arab structures, which were created by sand, history, wind, and shadow.

'When I dance amid the striking lightning, he dances with me too.' By the inimitable Virgil Finlay (1914-1971)

Rectangular card featuring an artist’s illustration of an imagined Venusian landscape. Reverse of card: WILLS CIGARETTES 26 ROMANCE OF THE HEAVENS A SERIES OF 50 The Dark Side of Venus an imaginary view. The brilliant surface of this beautiful planet, the "Earth's twin-sister“ presents practically no surface detail, and astronomers have found it difficult to reach definite conclusions as to the constitution of the planet or its rotation-period. Our picture illustrates the theory of one group of observers, who think that Venus always presents the same face to the Sun, so that the other is in perpetual darkness. Tremendous wind currents continually sweeping the surface take the moisture from the sunward side and deposit it asice and snow upon the dark side. Other observers, however, disagree with these conclusions, and the question is still an open one. W. D. & H. O.WILLS ISSUED BY THE IMPERIAL TOBACCO CO (OF GREAT BRITAIN & IRELAND).LTP

The Ponderosa #Sheffield 28.03.26.
I like the fact that there is an open space in Sheffield called The Ponderosa, that the name is said to have emerged from the children who once played there, and that many people have followed them to whom the name would mean nothing without it being explained.

In 2024 these two little guide books with their map dustwrapper were intended* as my contribution to David Bellingham's One Day Museum** at Kennaway House in the coastal town of Sidmouth, which is situated almost equally between the rivers Exe and Axe, at the mouth of the river Sid. I was reminded of them by DB's recent pair of postcards (Oo Press, 2026) with the text: "the space between two things is a third thing". ............ * "Hi David, terrible timing… after four years we’ve managed to get Covid. Both Judith and me pretty well bed bound since Tuesday, in a quite pathetic state, and can’t imagine we’ll be surfacing until after the weekend. I had two copies of a small local guide: ‘Twixt Axe and Exe’ to offer to the project, and hoped to have brought them down to Sidmouth, but no matter, it all looks great in the Instagram films. Good luck…! and sending very best wishes, Colin" —message to DB, 12 April 2024 ** "One Day Museum, A pop-up event. 14 April 2024, Kennaway House, Sidmouth Curated by David Bellingham in which found objects were reimagined through an inventive approach to materials and playful conversation. In our museum, the exhibits were illuminated through a focus on their actuality rather than their prior usage or history - with an emphasis on things as they are rather than things as they were. Workshops held on Tuesday 9th, Wednesday 10th and Thursday 11th April, 10am to 4pm attended by children, young people and adults from age 6 to 69 years.
