Shadow Shot Sunday

The sun has gone! The clouds are here. This seems to happen so rarely-I always manage to get shadow shots so I almost take it for granted. I don't mind the clouds and rain but have had to look elsewhere for shadows. Find more shadows here at HeyHarriet. These are some of my clay tools. Like everything else I can't just make do with one or two but seem to need loads. I used some of them this week on a new doll and had just washed them. I really like the metal ones with the ball shape on top-satisfyingly weighty and shiny!

This is mine and Andy's shadows at night in Whitby, overlooking the sheep field. I don't think you can see how huge the shadows were. The little white blob in the picture is a sheep so that shows the scale a little! Shadows of beautiful Whitby jet necklaces in the museum.

The last four photos are from an exhibition at the Hayward Gallery on the Southbank a couple of years ago. It was called 'Blind Light' and was lots of Antony Gormley people placed around the local area-mainly on roof tops but also on the street. It was a fun exhibition-I loved spotting the more distant people. I think I may be wrong about the name-I seem to remember 'Event Horizon' also. The blind light bit refers to a perspex room filled with fog and light. I queued for 20 minutes to get in, watching people as they felt their way around the outside wall.(You could not see them beyond that) When it was my turn I got in there-panicked and came straight out again! I couldn't breathe-it was like a giant nightmare steam room. Blind Panic was my name for it!
