'this was not done by accident, but by design'
Come and see my work tonight
Ever since I came to the UK, I've become a big magnet to architects and designers. At the student residence, three of my friends were studying architecture at UCL, then through them I met the others--they usually hang out as a clique. Currently I'm living with two architects and one interior designer. From what I observe, they take great photos, go to fancy launch parties, have good tastes, prefer to use large desks and like to say, 'that is so ugly', when looking at other people's designs. Last Friday was SJ's exhibition opening at the Chelsea College of Arts, a school nicely located beside Tate Britain. There were works by art, textile and interior design students: SJ's project was about a neglected street near Brick Lane called Fashion Street where the old textile companies were situated. Yet I mostly remember the bottles of wine poured into my glass; judging from the pictures I might have had the lion's share.
