All Saints, Ashdon, Essex
A lovely church in a wealthy village near the Cambridgeshire border. My poor farmworker ancestors came from the parishes round here. What would they think if they could see it today? The church is set away from the road in a secretive churchyard, old cottages fronting the south side, and the burial area to the west a riot of dog daisies on this late spring day. The great curiosity from outside is the splendid south chancel aisle which rises high above the more humble chancel. This is the last resting place of the 14th Century Tyrrell family. There was a general going-over on the eve of the Reformation when they raised the clerestory, and a rather grandiloquent restoration in the 1880s.
The dark benches can make the interior seem rather cluttered, although the Tyrrell chapel is left clear and this accentuates the sense of its separation, no doubt intended at the time to keep the dead Tyrrells at arms length from the peasants. There are fleeting memories of lost catholic England, the remnant of a wall painting, a collection of 15th Century glass fragments, but more than in most country churches it is the architecture here which speaks loudest of lost glories and the long Ashdon generations.
Boscoreale, près de Pompéi, péristyle de la villa de Fannius Synistor, Peinture Murale. Cette figure ailée que l'on attribue au 2ème style de la peinture murale comme l'ensemble de la décoration de la villa, porte une patère vide. Elle décorait l'entrée de la villa et faisait face à un génie conservé à Amsterdam qui tient un plan chargé de fruits, peut être symbole del a mort et de la résurrection de la nature.

A fragment of English medieval glass forms the top light of the East window. St Ethelbert's church, Alby, Norfolk. The small pieces of stained glass scattered in the windows in this church are of different dates and different provenance. The church notes simply state that they were donated by a past rector of the church.

St Lawrence, Brundish, Suffolk
One of the less well-known of Suffolk's best churches. Open daily before covid, open daily now.
This screen fragment was stored along with the pulpit tester and other junk under the tower when I first visited in the 1990s. Both now restored to the church.

I was drawn to the angles at which the dead and bleached tree-trunk had fallen.

Iron wood (tieli wood) table, chairs, parts of beams and pillars from dismantled temples of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)
One of Ai's most ambitious sculptures, Fragments is an amalgamation of his Furniture and Map series. Created using architectural salvage from four temples and items of furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the work at first appears to be a random construction made from unrelated objects. As Ai says: 'Everything is misfit and connected wrongly.' Yet when it is seen from above - a physical impossibility within the gallery - the timber frame is revealed as a map of China including Taiwan (represented by the conjoined stools).
The sculpture can be traversed, allowing the visitor obliviously to permeate the borders of China and cross the country freely, much as tourists do when they visit, in a way that the Chinese citizens cannot. The different geographic and ethnographic identities of the country are rendered immaterial and China is presented as a skeleton. Despite its robust construction, this skeletal form suggests an inherent fragility that can be seen as a commentary on the concept of 'One China', the state-sponsored policy aimed at protecting and promoting China's sovereignty and territorial intergrity.
Offcuts of the salvaged timbers used to make Fragments were kept and used to create Kippe.
