Ruskin Rocks!

IT IS TRUE! John Ruskin really is alive and is in Somerset and we bumped into him during an Arthaus meeting at Hauser & Wirth tonight. He is so knowledgeable and has this amazing rock collection. He spoke of geology, the natural world, pattern, the wider landscape, and not only rocks as architecture but the natural world as a metaphor for human life. Tonight we also met Karen Johnson, who is a writer, director, translator, producer and actor, she gave us an insight into her production methods and how she had been helping Ruskin become audience friendly. We recommend that you visit Hauser & With Somerset this Saturday and see Ruskin for yourself!
