Widening your tastes

Don't get stuck in a rut; as a writer it is important to widen your horizons in order to gain knowledge. Don't be afraid of trying new hobbies, visiting new places. The world is your oyster. Recently I visited a contemporary art exhibition which was held at a National Trust Country Park in England. This is not my sort of scene but I was fascinated by the art on display. One was of "mixed media with pigeon feathers in museum cabinet" whilst another was a chandelier with taxidermy birds. Some were beautiful (in my opinion.) There was a globe shaped object made of mouse skulls which was placed in a glass bell (the sort you would find in an old fashioned glasshouse) which must have taken hours of painstaking work. I found this quite lovely. I have always said in the past that I didn't like modern art, but seeing the display, I felt open to new spheres and a wider understanding of our world.
