fiona-roberts-intimate-vestiges-designboom-02Details from Intimate Vestiges by Australian artist Fiona Roberts,  blending traditional decor with elements of the human body. To wit:

a hair chair with ceramic mouths, a shag pile rug made up of thousands of ceramic fingers and a dark window, concealed by curtains that look back at the visitor are installed throughout the faux-bedroom. these conventional items of the house that generally go unnoticed, become here, the focus of the viewer’s attention, drawing them in to a personal narrative about everyday routines, memories, accidents, habits, and fear.

Currently on show at Kickarts Contemporary Arts in Cairns, if you’re passing.

The principal of the Model Primary School in Derry has paid tribute to pupils for their maturity after they discovered a dead body during a field trip.

The Primary 7 class of 27 pupils had been combing the beach at Magilligan in small groups, when five of them saw the outline of a body and reported it to their teacher.

A PSNI spokesman confirmed to the Derry Journal: ”Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a man whose body was discovered by members of the public at Magilligan Point this morning, Tuesday 20 May.

“A post-mortem examination will be carried out to determine the cause of death.”
