Not Myself Today Installation by Blok Design
The final event in a month-long campaign to improve mental health in Canada needed a high-impact installation to engage people and encourage pledges. Our solution: a wall constructed out of mood pins strategically located in a heavily travelled intersection in the heart of Toronto. The bold rainbow of colours acted as a lightning rod, drawing people in, while the simple act of selecting their mood sparked dialogue, released stories and inspired hundreds of pledges of support.

Silk dress and straw hat. On the river Arno with Ponte Vecchio on behind - Firenze - 1960 © Emilio Pucci Archive
Pretty medieval manuscript of the day is a hawk! This illustration of a bird of prey, possibly a kestrel, appears in the margins of a leaf of the Lovell Lectionary. I love the jovial figures on either side, grotesques who are half human, half bird.
