Eva and I went to volunteer at the shanty towns.

 My buddy Eva and I went to volunteer in the shanty towns of Hong Kong, in Yau Tong!

 Here are some photos I took.

Hong Kong has terrible weather conditions, they suffer from typhoons and landslides!!!

We were at the organisation teaching teenagers around the age of 14 English and the western culture.

Their english was great!!!

We were shown around the area...when they need to use the bathroom it is a public one. 

They have a certain time where they can shower, and that is from 8am-8pm!!!

As you can see they locked the shower area, I am so grateful with what I have! 

They were so intrigued by me but I am more intrigued by them. 

Funky Junky!!!

 Jamming on my first juck trip!!1 Was fab!!!

Granny's privates and some piggies!

Last weekend was Hong Kong Art Fair, similar to Frieze Art Fair.
The whole exhibition space was huuuuuuuuge, what always annoys me about these sorts of things is how big it is!
There is always just too much to have to take in for my liking.

The few pieces that I actually managed to take a photo of was " I want to know what infinity is" by Shen Shaomin.

This life size silica gel, electrical machinery is 78cm x 145cm x58cm.
This old lady is all exposed, sunbathing on a deck chair on a big mound of sea salt. Her tummy moves up and down making her look like she is breathing, I feel Shaomin really captures the bleakness of reaching that age. 
At first it might seem he is trying to capture the serenity of being old but the composition of salt, the deck chair and the old lady creates a hostile and cold atmosphere. 

His other work "I sleep on top of myself" are also machines, but instead of an old lady, there are baby animals hairless and lying on mounds of salt, some breath and some are still. 

Stripping of the fur and feathers of these baby animals and putting them on a mound of salt can connote ideas about problems we are facing with our environment and our society today. 
Shaomin really captures the vulnerability of these innocent baby animals, they are alone with no mother and striped of their outer layer that would protect them from the world.

Exhibition is still on at Osage Gallery check out their website:

But to something less dark and less meaningful is this cute pig sculpture by Richard Jackson.

"Big Pig" is made of Stainless steel and wood. 

I WANT ONE!!!

OHHHHHH MYYYYYYY is it not just sooooooooo cuuuuuuuuuuute!!!! hehehehehe 

From England's Pennywell it's so cute i think I might die from the cuteness ahhhhhh!!!

Say hi to my new buddy!

My new buddy "Terrinzilla" 
she was called Domitilla!

She was a former TMNT
She quit due to the differences she had with the other members! (Being a terrapin and not a turtle)

As you can tell she wasn't the center of attention, that isn't how she rolls! She looooves attention...

Don't mess with her...

TO BE CONTINUED!!!
