As it is. . .

ivyblossom:

As you can clearly see here, Martin Freeman is a slender man with broad shoulders.

Some people in the Sherlock fandom suggest that he is less slender than he actually is (it seems to me), probably because in Sherlock he is usually standing next to the taller, frighteningly-thin (at least in the pilot and series 1) and relatively compactly-built Cumberbatch. But he is not, you know, chubby at all. He’s a thin guy.

And look at his shoulders! Those are shoulders that can carry the weight of the world.

Why am I posting about this? I don’t know. I have cognitive dissonance about it. I am not really a description person at all, and I struggle to hold images in my head at the best of times, but I so often see Sherlock’s John Watson described as having put on weight after leaving Afghanistan, or of him having a kind of hobbity roundness. I don’t know. I mean, objectively, this guy is a thin dude. He’s a thin dude with big shoulders, as far as I can tell.

Nuala O’Donovan makes ceramic pieces that are patterned after nature. These are part of her Teasel Series which is based on the teasel flower.

O’Donovan on her work:

I have used the characteristics of irregular/fractal patterns in nature as a system of constraints or guidelines when making decisions about the forms: The patterns are regularly irregular. The patterns and form are self-similar. The pattern records a response to random events during the making process. The result of using the characteristics of fractal geometry in making decisions regarding the form of the sculptural pieces, is that the form is resolved but retains a sense of potential change. The viewer engages with the piece by allowing their own visual experiences to influence their view of the outcome of the form and its future possibilities. I hope that this aspect of my work also evokes the transitory quality of living organisms, combining traces of history, the present and the future, in the patterns that make up their surfaces and forms.

My decision to research patterns and forms from nature stemmed from my interest in the narrative quality of irregularities in patterns. The history behind a scarred or broken surface is what fascinates me. The evidence of a response to random events visible in patterns in nature, is testament to the ability of living organisms to recover, to respond, and to continue growing and changing. It is the imperfections in the patterns caused by a unique experience that are evidence of the life force in living organisms.
