Discarded Intimacy

Sitting down on the train going from Brockley to London Bridge I found this hair band. Thouht about using it for my hari that day, but they I thought about my project. Since this is worn on a part of a body (hair), this should qualify as a personal article of clthing, right? So I [...]

On my way to hand in this project, guess what I found? One pink glove just lying there ready to be taken. Unfortunately I did not have my phone with me, so I just drew the outline of the glove and went to borrow someone’s phone. I don’t even cringe anymore as I pick up [...]

I got off the train at Brockley station and I saw the scarf lying on the ground in a nice shape. It was quite a nice scarf too, All Saints, not one of those five quid for two scarfs. Good thing I had my trusty box of chalk with me. I drew the mark, took [...]

This was found hanging on a fence on Easter Sunday in front of South Kensington Church. As it was hanging on a fence I couldn’t mark it with the chalk I had, so I just took a picture of it, hanging. It was a very nice day, y the way. A little bit windy, [...]
