Aneirin -> The Eden project (9/19/2008 4:31:12 PM)

Today I visited the Eden Project in Cornwall for the fourth time, my last visit there being some four years ago, and the place as ever was fantastic, things I had seen before, and much more , many new things, a truly awesome day out. Of course I went there with a bunch of artists, and the place took on a whole different meaning., but it was good to look at the place from a different perspective.

What I would like to know, is who has been there, particularly you lot from overseas, and what did you think ?

Nope, not gone there. My best friend went and sent me some cool stuff from there. I've only been to London and Croydon.

Hello Aneirin, I got a chance to go last march, my parents had memberships and being so close to St Austell, they used to go a lot. Unfortunately I didnt get to go with my dad, but my mum and sisters together went as a kind of peace moment. Amazing place, absolutely beautiful and stunning. and quite a shock when you realise you are in the middle of the mining piles. My kids also have been during their visits to the UK in the past few years. I would definitely reccommed it to anyone thinking of going

Isn't the Eden project like the millennium dome experience but with plants instead of giant pubic lice?

I loved it, but of all the art installations amongst the natural life, the sculptures by artist Tim Shaw always reach inside of me. They of course are located in the temperate dome, the area that is mediteranean in temperature and depicts that area. From the first time I went there, that particular art installation hit me, and today I realised what it was with me, that being the thing inside of us that screams to come out, the animal in nature.

It represents something in me screaming to get out.
