Ancestral. youtu.be/4DrpW_xaJfo?...
A page from a forgotten sketchbook. A sketch of the Library of Celsus made during a visit to Ephesus in Turkey. The Library of Celsus, Ephesus, Turkey. The library was built as a tomb and monument for Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus, a Roman senator, and funded by his son, Gaius Julius Aquila. The Library of Celsus, Ephesus, Turkey. It was designed to store around 12,000 scrolls, making it the third-largest library in the ancient world. A fire in 262 AD, potentially caused by an invasion or earthquake, and centuries of further seismic activity destroyed the library and its contents. The facade was reconstructed by Austrian archaeologists in the 1970s, preserving this significant landmark. Today, the Library of Celsus stands as a vital part of the Ephesus UNESCO World Heritage Site and remains one of its most recognizable structures.

Lose Your Head. youtu.be/j8oD9jlCFJw?...
Ana Maria Pacheco, Sculpture Study of Head (John the Baptist III), 1992, polychrome wood, porcelain, onyx, nails, 31.8 x 50.8 x 74 cm. Photographed at Birmingham Museums Collection Centre, Birmingham, UK. The Collection Centre is where Birmingham Museums keep all the artefacts that are not actually on display in any of the city’s museums. It isn’t generally open to the public but can be accessed on occasional heritage days. It’s basically a massive warehouse filled with an eclectic mix of weird and wonderful treasures, such as this gruesome sculpture of a severed head on a plate.

Pablo Picasso. youtu.be/Kc2iLAubras?...
Self portrait in a style inspired by Picasso following the rediscovery of the forgotten sketchbook. Black gloss house paint and acrylics on an old ceramic floor tile (October 2025). Painting on the tile seemed appropriate as Picasso often painted on pottery and ceramics.
