A wonderful BBC programme, Imagine, was on TV on Saturday, giving insights about Rachel Whiteread’s 30 year career and the current Exhibition at Tate Britain.
I became fascinated by this couple
Their shapes, their colours, their interaction.
People watching is one of my favourite things to do – you too?

They’re the couple from Grant Wood’s American Gothic, brought up to date! He left his pitchfork at home, and she’s had a haircut…

I can understand why you were fascinated with them. They look so slim and elegant, as though they were part of the exhibit.

That’s exactly what I thought Laurie. I had to bide my time to get photos with no-one else in them, whilst not making it too obvious that I was taking photos of them rather then the sculpture.

This is absolutely wonderful. Did you use your phone or a camera? Is a camera allowed inside the Tate?
LikeLiked by 1 person
I used both phone and camera. I asked permission to take the photos which were allowed in this exhibition but not in the other Impressionist exhibition on at the same time.
