New book sharing group
Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that we have just created a group here on OCASA that is a 'Circular Library'. The idea is that it is a library of books that students will donate into the 'library' and we keep them circulating. People just need to pay postage to get the book and can be relisted once you are finished with it, so someone else can have it. I hope that makes sense. Full details are in the group.
I hope you will all join us and if you have any old books about to be thrown out then do make a post 🙂

I saw this exhibition the other day. It was quite a soothing experience, with some beautiful film and 'quiet' artworks. I think it's the sort of exhibition where often you see ideas for art beginning to unfurl ... For example, one of the exhibitors collects soil samples to make rough coloured marks on paper ... but only that, I believe. I think there are a number of artists who use soil/mineral samples in their location-based work, and for me, they are creating some really visually appealing pieces. In addition, quite a lot of the scientific info I'd already come across as I'm a keen gardener and I read about gardening, re-wilding and the like. That said, it is mind-blowing science.
