...... I know nothing of these things, of course, but I heard some mention of it the other day, while discussing alternative abstract concepts of spatial expressionism within a new focus group, dedicated to diffusing the arguments surrounding the critical dialogue between the proponents of  disjunctive perturbation and distinctive juxtaposition of form.  

I'm reminded of an 'Art Work' in a Dundee Contemporary Arts Gallery by Michaelangelo Antonioni

I saw a few years ago.

 

Ellipsis  To mark moments of uncertainty, to remove chunks of narrative.

(Basically, a blank canvas with just the hint that a brush may have added a layer of sealer on the canvas).

The guide notes to the Art Work mentions...
" Michaelangelo Antonioni use of the device leaves the audience and viewer to speculate on what happens in the gap, to create their own understanding or interpretation around a moment of ambiguity".

Not sure Captain how far that is from your description above, but neither mean anything to me, I'm to old now to understand these things.

There's a similar theme in a work by  Ithell Colquhoun (1906-1988) in a Penzance Gallery. 

The guide notes tell us?
"She's an artist drawn by Gaelic Melodic Superautomism* …… perhaps a figure from a spirit world, conjured from Aladdin’s lamp, condensed, materialised and 'ectoplasmic’, as if from a half conscious experience of the interdependence of the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms of the earth and their vitalization by the sun".
At best the canvas was ethereal... 

*e.g. Close your eyes and let the pencil drift over the canvas, hopefully recording your dream experiences.

Similar rather than the same.

 

Klear is a floor tile sealant that has become popular for modelling purposes because it comes in big cheap bottles, as opposed to modelling varnish which tends to come in small expensive ones.

Same stuff though, just in smaller bottles.

 

It was made because of demand from the military and aircraft modellers when the original Johnson Klear was discontinued about ten years ago.

Agreed.
The plus point at Dundee was the Gallery had an informal sort of Cafe, lots of students - cheap coffee.
The Gallery was empty - bar me and my wife, the Cafe was packed.

That would involve far too much effort and artistic talent.

It would also seriously eat into the time needed to write a pretentious back story...

They're like wine snobs though - they want it to be inaccessible and elitist, so they can look down their noses at the rest of us.

 

Me, I like art I can recognise and wine that tastes good, and couldn't give a whatsit about how much (or how little) it cost...

Now that's an interesting notion. I know even less about wine than I know about Art, but perhaps I should have a go at taking the pisse there too!

 

[Dunsignalling]

The guide notes often appear to be far more creative than the works they purport to describe.

Just had a look, darling and I can only agree with you!

Maybe why my suggestion of 'I think shops like yours should put wine in alphabetical order so it is easy to find the Blue Nun' didn't go down too well then. . . . . . . . ?  

[MrWolf]

IMHO @Gedwardis an artist in the real sense, not some contrived master of self publicity with little skill to back it up. Unfortunately the art world is brimming with the latter, which is why it is a running joke to the majority. 

Of course, those types brush off the derision with lofty remarks about the masses not being able to "see" true art.

I believe the correct terminology for such things is a 'stack' of model chimney builders.

Er,

 

With apologies for the shameless self-promotion yet again. There may be some sheep not too far away from the location depicted, but I would have to look into that.

Does the stock steer itself or have you forgotten to lay any rails?

Thanks Al. 

 

Yes, have to agree.  I do like locos emerging from between  or around buildings. 

 

 

There will be a buffer stop between the end of the 16 tonner  and the wooden lean to.  Perhaps a cobbled/ hard standing to the front and side of the 'garage'. The vehicle  entry to the yard will be between the barn to the left and small hut, parallel to the Pannier. 

 

Green area to the front of the barn.........

 

I can see it now...

Hi Martyn, 

 

Once I have an idea of what the track plan will look like, I can pick up a few bits and bobs. I have no track at present. 

 

We are a long way way from laying any track for now.

A few more images of the plotting and scheming. 

 

Crayons deployed.............and eaten. 

 

 

Of course, nothing is set in stone........but I like the look of this.........

 

 

House added, perhaps the abode of the yard foreman. 

 

 

Yes, I know it says L&NER on the notice board but things can change........and I think the building does look the part here.
