Butterfly dreams in
Winter, I wonder how to
gaze once more in awe.

Give me the smallest
space and there I will try to
grow, untroubling.

The curse of adulthood
When I was young I
saw only the wonder of
the world; no longer.

Following on from yesterday’s post I thought I would add another piece by Aspire. This mural is tucked away off the main road at the southern end of Stokes Croft. This beautiful robin is in great company…is that marilyn in the yellow telephone box?
I have no idea who pasted the yellow phone box, I like it…it is quirky and it appears to have changed colour from red (as seen on streetview). I like the robin more though. I’m on a bit of an Aspire streak…maybe more next week.

Alex Lucas is a breath of fresh air on the street art scene. She is a hugely talented textile designer and illustrator/animator. Her commissions are instantly recognisable and can be seen all over Bristol.
This mural, completed in October 2015, looks to be a commission by the University of Bristol Cabot Institute, and is right next to the most wonderful public conveniences.
The work features a plesiosaurus and other sea creatures from the period, one mischievously using a spray can, and tells a story of sea level rises. There is more about the collaboration on the Cabot Institute website
I love this.
