19th January – family
The woman carries a bright red plastic sledge, the ridges on its base white with snow. From behind her skips a little girl, dressed head to toe in pink. She stops dead and turns towards her mother, then falls straight … Continue reading
18th January 2013 – Buddha
A small stone Buddha sits cross-legged on a green plastic bench. A fur coat of snow covers him and a cossack-style snow-hat finishes off the outfit with a flourish. Through it all, undeterred, he calmly searches for Nirvana.
