The tower of St Anne's church, Limehouse, London

I've photographed this church many times before ...but never from this angle nor at this time! Note the baby towers on top of the tower!

It’s been ages since I’ve made some gravlax (based on the linked recipe), and I decided to make some for brunch this past Sunday. I enjoyed it Delmonico-style, in which I prepare all kinds of toppings to go on buttered sourdough toast. I first learned about this particular style of preparation from Hawksmoor at Home, and this was so easy that I need to make this more frequently because it’s so good!

Of course, tropes other than beads and nightmare have been used to describe this kind of writing. “A nest of Chinese boxes” (“Great God Pan,” in Child, Dark Company 119)—stories within stories, repetitions in different guises of essentially similar phenomena—is Arthur Machen’s self-conscious label for his narrative of the repeated eruptions in nature of the terrible force he calls Pan, a force of decreation, withering, meltdown, and death. Frequently evoked also is the vivid metaphor of labyrinth, or, in Peter Ackroyd’s more pointed version, “mazes of the serpent.”

The magnificent entrance to St Michael Cornhill, one of many secret churches, hidden away between skyscrapers, in the City of London.

Like many, the original medieval church was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666 and replaced by this building designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor and subsequently Victorianised!

WIP - Another palace and another fire, this is a massively truncated idea of Wren and Hawksmoor's plan for Whitehall Palace.

Is it too early to start thinking about a @hawksmoornyc power lunch? NO! Aged rump steak frites, whole baked sea bream and seasonal sour cherry cheesecake are all on the lunch menu now; and potted beef is a great way to start off the meal. Beef & Liberty: the perfect breakup to a monotonous work day. #hawksmoor #lunch #powerlunch #steakfrites #steak #steaks #food #meat #beef #eeeeeats #forkyeah #pottedbeef #yorkshirepudding #cheesecake #steakhouse #🥩 #🐟 #🍰 #beefandliberty #fries #frenchfries #frites #chips (at Hawksmoor NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClQ_2d7urq6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A month ago I had the opportunity to join a music album design workshop by @maarten.donders ! We all made a new design for the album 'Methods of Dreaming' by HAWKSMOOR - a fun excercise in going what first pops up in your mind. :)

I liked the pencil and charcoal textures in the sketch made during the workshop, so I tried to keep those as visible as possible, and added more traditional looking textures - it felt more like collage than painting at times! I will post some closeups tomorrow!
