... grassed wall...


dilston grove by ackroyd & harvey...

dilston grove is located on the edge of southwark park in bermondsey, london was transformed into a green chamber of living grass in collaboration with sound artist and composer graeme miller...

dilston grove or formerly known as clare college mission church was originally designed in early italian style with an austere exterior which gave way to the dramatic difference created by the liveliness of the fabrics of growing grass...

... merry christmas to you, you and you...


merry christmas everyone...
best wishes from me...

during my time living in asia, christmas day is just another holiday at work and another occasion for alcohol...
but after i've moved to uk, it became one of the most important day to be celebrated with friends around me...
we shopped for presents, we prepared for the christmas eve dinner, we cooked, we got drunk, we sang, we exchanged gifts... 
it was so much fun...

i miss my parents, my grandma, my relatives and friends back home...
merry christmas and i love you all...
