Roni Horn in the Tate modern

Just been to see it and it is absolutely amazing.
I loved the map of iceland with cuttings of type written statements of what the artist experienced in this place. Then this frame work was taken and placed on a blank sheet of paper and this emerged into its own from putting each phrase into perspective to each other.
Concept and brainstorming words on the floor, describing the weather. And above all poetry incorporated into it all my favourite being the very first display....The mind is such a new place...last night feels obsolete...
The images of water, photos that look like chiseled in stone, like sculptures.
And last the woman emerging from water...such a sensual and erotic piece, the way she is looking at the spectator sometimes confident, then vulnerable and then again quizzical, then relaxed.
This makes me want to work again more with the concept of repetition as a reinforcement and means to influence viewers and with poetry put onto objects and thus transcending the meaning. Poetry on garments or linings, signifying hidden meanings, or being an allegory for irony.
Developing my own graphics and textile designs based on the painting by numbers principle, the arrangement of objects. Repeating the photo of a loved one with various expressions.
