Kubo is now a lady elephant! We felt that with mirrored feet, pebble ankle detail and the plan for long eyelashes, the mosaic elephant has more feminine traits than previously.
There were different people sticking tiles onto 'Kubella' including a lady from Devon, Alice Hunt from Southbourne, Dominic aged 6, from Ascot, Hannah Perry, a local solicitor and even the band Dita's Dream added their tiles for prosperity!
Kubella, as she is now known, does look like she is wearing legwarmers at the moment, until the next pale blue tiles are added next week.
On to sad news..
We at Poppies are saddened about the closure of Kube gallery at the end of January 2010, as reported in The Echo last week. It is such a lovely friendly place with great art, art workshops for the community and always something going on!
Without getting too political, art is all around us to some degree, designed by man or nature and galleries are such a wonderful starting place to recognise this and how it is interpreted, expressed by individuals. Art education is being squeezed out of schools and other community atoms, due to lack of funding and recognition of their importance.
