| My favourite piece was Lava Waves. At first I thought he had just thrown some clay down and fired it but then I realised he had sculpted waves. This photograph does not do these pieces any justice at all but they really were marvellous when viewed up close. |

Popped in to the Fruitmarket Gallery yesterday when I was passing by. I didn't know what was on and discovered their latest exhibition of work by Mexican artist Damián Ortega. I thought his pieces were marvellous. Contemporary art exhibitions can be a hit or a miss (though being arty I usually always draw something from what I see) but this was a definite hit for me!
Damián uses this series of bricks to show the process of erosion in this 2016 piece called Eroded Valley.

| A multitude of clay objects which made me think of archaeology and things humans throw away. |
On my way out of the gallery I bought yet another drawing book from the shop. It had a piece in it from Charles Avery whose drawings I admire so that's what sold me.
