Art is alive in St Ives. It is not only colour on paper or canvas, nor stone and wood carvings either. People make things that are pleasing to the eyes or amusing or thought-provoking in their everyday lives. Perhaps they won't last. I saw a man who was balancing small rocks on a beach. I met four women in gowns (in tribute to Huguette Caland and Frida Kahlo). The embroidery demonstrates their cancer. There wasn't enough room on the beach for birds - it was high tide. Therefore the birds were on the road and roofs.
