L'Arte de la Cuisine

Here are the latest views of the kitchen. As you can see, we have decided to dispense with the suburban oppression which characterises pretentious efforts to offer what are in fact unappetising and tedious meals. Instead, visitors are going to be merely greeted with a single mug in which they can have tea (the drink), and then view an artfully arranged selection of DIY tools and accoutrement. This forms the basis of a living exhibition which epitomises the inherent contradiction in the way our lives are both stagnant and dynamic, with the solidity and sheer silent presence of the yellow mug on the workmate contrasting with the vertical thrust of the tube of pinkgrip, and the offer of elevated and alternative positions from the wooden footstool. On taking this all in today, I have informed M that I now regard this kitchen as a completed thing in its present form. It has its own perfection, and is certainly unique. i had previously been a little concerned about the lack of originality involved in our choice of an ikea kitchen -but I can now see that, with all that vital sense of a shared vision, we have been able to create something which is uniquely ours. I am considering starting up a small agency which, for a breathtakingly huge fee, will turn other people's formerly pristine kitchens into something similar.
