Colours of Athens: No.1 Taste of Gold at Kuzina

The colour gold is ever present in the land known as Ellas.

Saffron and fava beans bring that glowing colour to the plate, and the ‘plates’ or dishes in this article are served at Kuzina in the Thiseio area of Athens.

Taste the colour

The colour you see is but a series of vibrations buzzing around in the universe.

Like music, it is made of waves, frequencies, vibrations which fill the world.  

Observe and adsorb colour not just with your eyes but with all your senses. 

Taste it! Feel it! Hear it!

Beauty in Chaos

Shiftazine has been away looking at what is out there in the world.

There is beauty and wit amongst the chaos and troubles.

Surely a wonderful indication that the human soul is capable of surviving

almost everything 

as long as there is a platform for art and creative thinking to exist.

Good to be back!

And how do they come to be? 

What eye sees them, what hand picks them up. 

Who possesses the sharp mind that can see the potential of this salty detritus?

Raise the Pink Lantern

Walking through the back streets of inner city Sydney, or for that matter any city, 

even when it’s too hot, too cold, too wet, too late, or too early, will result in a discovery or two 

that will bring delightful.

The street is full of spontaneous art.

Raise a pink lantern was found in a small parking spot come back yard one late afternoon.  

Clearly they were evidence of a celebration from the night before…these lanterns stayed firm to their role 

of supplying a sense of event, joy, fun.

Best thing I can say is…Look, look and look some more all around you, all the time.
