+ the plantation

Looking for a way to use abandoned objects for the greater good, Alicja Patanowskacreated The PLANTATION. The PLANTATION consists of objects made from found glasses and porcelain components that when combined allow for the observation of plants growing, both stem and root.
Finding discarded glass around the city streets of London in unexpected places, Patanowska spent over a month searching the streets between 4 and 6am to collect the glasses from bus stops, benches, curbs, and alleys.

the entrance and foyer to this giant of museums was impressive enough to leave one feeling very small and new. Then you get the egyptian ruins, the rosetta stone, and massive lions that use to guard the roman empire

life in transit

we rode trains, planes, cabs, the tube. we walked many old english streets in the cold. we slept in castles, hostels and on couches. coffee shops and hotel lobbies were warm oasis' out of the december weather. we could often be found clutching hot americanos and eating paninis on museum steps if it was anytime before the afternoon.
