Using huge stationeries to mark up eventual lettable space, Radford Wallis creates interest in the most unlikely venue.

Property developer Land Securities owned office space in 80 Victoria Street, London SW1. One vast floor’s space was due to be split into four sections and then let to separate companies. Agents showing prospective tenants around required something to demonstrate this clearly.

Artist Scott Weaver began work on Rolling Through the Bay, an abstract toothpick sculpture of San Francisco, 35 years ago…Insane.

I have used different brands of toothpicks depending on what I am building. I also have many friends and family members that collect toothpicks in their travels for me. For example, some of the trees in Golden Gate Park are made from toothpicks from Kenya, Morocco, Spain, West Germany and Italy. The heart inside the Palace of Fine Arts is made out of toothpicks people threw at our wedding.

Paintings by So Yoon Lym, entitled The Dreamtime.

The Dreamtime is a reference to the pre-colonial Aboriginal Australian understanding of life and the particular viewpoints as understood by the dreamtime. This could be regarded as a form of spirituality. The dreamtime was an understanding of time and the creation of all things as told by myths about the continuum of past, present and future. The aborigines believed in what the European coined, the dreamtime, which to the aborigines was an interconnected way of living on an earth that they believed was inhabited by the spirits of shared ancestors.
