Sea Skin - Niamh Seana Meehan at The Mac Belfast


Visited this exhibition at TheMacBelfast today. Okay the sound was off but that didn't detract from a wonderful deepdive into the sea bed.  I'll be back to experience it again.  It's on to January.

Why?

The dark is inviting.  The colours stand out.  I didn't touch but Oh... how I wished to roll in that seaweed texture. Wonderful!

The textures, the colours, the shapes, the fabrics. The creative process.

November 2025 Reads


Four reads for November.  Not weighty tomes this time but already sure that there will be plenty of stimulating content.

Fiction: Breaking Point by Edel COFFEY

Non-fiction: Women and Power, a manifesto by Mary BEARD

French literature: L'Heure Exquise by Dominique BARBÉRIS

Poetry and Drama: Red Velvet by Lolita CHAKRABARTI

I've set myself a new goal of reading a lot more non-fiction - a genre that will include essays, biographies and commentaries.  Add to that a work of fiction each month as well as a French text and some poetry/drama.

We'll see how that develops.
