“Toby Paterson’s appreciation of architectural forms and structures developed from skate boarding around abandoned concrete buildings. From this perspective he experienced cities and buildings as spaces to navigate; a collection of isolated forms and surfaces that could then be translated into paintings and sculptures. He works in a variety of forms, from large-scale sculptural assemblages and architectural wall drawings to small paintings on paper and Perspex. Paterson’s work explores the integration of art and architecture. He is influenced by his personal experience of the built environment, with a particular focus on post-war architecture and an interest in the processes of abstraction within visual art. nspired by the language of Modernist architecture his modular pavilion will introduce an new feature into the multifaceted landscape of the Southbank.”

This summer I took a week’s holiday on the lovely island of Guernsey. At only nine miles long by three miles wide it has plenty of coastline, coves and beaches to provide super fun activity thrills!
Superheroes on a rib boat
As Guernsey has three other islands very nearby — Herm, Sark and Alderney – visiting by rib boat is quick and easy.
And what better way to enjoy it than going with Iron Man, Supergirl, Batgirl, and Mr and Mrs Incredible!
Kite flying
The strongest wind on the beach + the smallest kite = still massive fun.
