Last day in Manchester/Last post!

Before catching the train back to Brighton, I attended the last bit of the FutureEverything conference and visited Manchester Art Gallery. The collection was really great - art from a wide timeframe. There were some Joana Vasconcelos textile sculptures placed throughout the galleries which added an interesting contrast to the painting collections.






Ford Madox Brown's painting Work




Hylas and the Nymphs, John William Waterhouse 1896





Some Tom Waits broken umbrellas like dead birds


Sarah Lucas ciggy gnome



John Mills' Crawling Couch 1987





And now I'm back in Brighton for just a few more days during which I'll be tying up loose ends then flying home on Sunday. I can't believe the two months have already passed. I've had an amazing time in England, though I'm really excited to go home and carry on with life! Thanks for reading :)
