How to fill an empty space?

Put on a performance of the London Songs by Sian Jamison.

With a choir of 60 all dressed as Londoners from any period of history.

I popped back 40 years to late 70’s punk.

I can still get into the lycra/ jersey mini skirt but my knees are not so pretty. The make-up flowed on like I still do it every day, but…

The Wrinkles. Who put a contour or topographical map on my face?

Every year etched on my face as a trip hazard for dramatic make up.

So the knees just had to show their age and the face went for a modified version because nobody needs to look quite that ghoulish on a Saturday night.

And we filled the space magnificently.

Our Autumn Equinox performed pretty well yesterday. Our 12 hours of daylight were sun-filled with just a hint of chill.

And if natural sun were not enough we popped along to Devonport Market Hall to see Helios an installation by Luke Jerram.Featuring a giant orb, representing the sun and an ambient soundtrack that represents many of the cultural, social and science impacts that the sun has on humanity around the world.

Bean bags and chairs are provided for static appreciation and the architecture of the Market Hall encourages  360 degree viewpoints.

I managed to get one of my complicated images. Which has half of my body balanced on a table and plugged into the mains via a socket extension. A dangerous position to be in, if it wasn’t just a trick of many lights.

12 hours filled with sunlight of different sorts. My final moment of sun worship was a little on the chilly side but worth the cold to spend time swimming towards the setting sun.

Helios is free to visit at the Market Hall, Devonport. Open daily until Sunday 28th September.
