Berlin - spent crackers and childhood memories







Here are a couple of works that didn't make it home from Paris. I collected the used firecrackers while visiting Berlin - they littered Berlin's snowy streets long after the New Year's celebrations had passed and the hoarder in me couldn't resist their exhausted charm. 
Firecrackers are so appealing. As a child i looked forward to Cracker Night for weeks. The colour, sound and smell of a cracker going off against the night sky had a magic to it that could insight terror, joy and excitement in me all at once, except for the fizzer which was always a bummer.
Below, a pic of my favourite cracker - the trusty throwdown.
