Our lulling circuit on Joana Vasconcelos' floating wonderland, the Trafaria Praia (Portugal's pavilion this year), set the pace for the day.
(Above: Steph explores the glittering caverns below deck. Below: Mandy and Heidi busy with journals)
Still swaying, we took our sea legs across to San Giorgio Maggiore, (which I can see from my bedroom window!)
In the huge, pristine basilica, we found John Pawson's understated crystal lens, and Not Vital's giant game of marbles, 700 Snowballs (below).
We met Marc Quinn's famous Self (Blood Head)... and discovered how to have fun with it.
And spent the last hours drawing our distorted image in the gleaming surface of Quinn's giant Shells.
... until we'd had enough.
awwww! Now I have this picture in my mind of an fallen swarm of winged art students, collapsed on a pavement in Venice, arms and legs in the air.... journals at their sides.... all drawn out!!
