Welcome to your local magazine
Dear neighbour
Autumn is breathing down our necks, summer is
a distant memory and the winter holidays are fast
approaching. In the meantime, we have Halloween,
Bonfire Night and a host of other things to look
forward to, and with that, lots of good things to read
as you pull on that jumper.
The Gentle Author has kindly provided an interview
with the fabulous artist extraordinaire, Adam Dant;
we feel so fortunate to feature this - a cracking good
read and, if you love maps, Dant's book is total eye
candy.
We also discover the multi-talented Hannah
Rummery and some lovely doors in Walthamstow
via Lorena Perez's instagram feed and celebrate
artistic diversity with Forest Gate Learning Zone's
fine art students.
We visit The Old Church in Stoke Newington and find
out about their new Artist in Residence programme,
which is sure to go from strength to strength, and
feature a beautiful illustration of the Greenway by
Samantha Watson.
We are also privileged to announce the 2018
#Artskickers Awards winners and runners up - we
were sworn to secrecy as we went to press before
the event - it's an honour to be able to showcase
these amazing Artskicking people and organisations.
Lastly, a review of Andrew Kershman's new book,
London's Markets; this should be every Londoner's
bible and it's no accident that East London features
heavily. Well, of course!
As the nights draw in and the temperature drops, I
hope you enjoy this edition.
Cheers,
Kaz

East life
The Gentle Author visited Adam Dant in his studio in Club Row
off Redchurch Street to learn of the origin of his fascination with
drawing maps and the pursuit of creative cartography

What brought you to the East End of London?
I came here in 1993, directly from Rome where I
spent a year as the Rome Scholar in Printmaking
at the British School. I had often visited Brick
Lane and Petticoat Lane markets in the past and,
growing up in Cambridge, always entered London
via Liverpool Street Station. The badly-lit, derelict
streets surrounding Spitalfields Market where meths
drinkers gathered around bonfires of orange boxes
seemed very dark and dodgy - quite the antithesis of
Cambridge with its culture of Reason, savoir faire and
sandstone gothic pinnacles. On the evening
I returned from Rome, the artists Tracey
Emin and Sarah Lucas were hosting
the closing party for their shop
in the Bethnal Green Road and
I bought bottles of brown ale
from The Dolphin pub on what
seemed to be a very gloomy
Redchurch Street, unaware
that I would be moving to this
neighbourhood within a few
weeks.
Tell me about your studio.
Before I moved in, this building was
a mini cab office but it was forced
to close because the massive aerial on
the roof was interfering with neighbours’
television signals. I used to take cabs from here, and I
have a vague memory of walking past one evening and
seeing it being attacked by a mob of angry scaffoldpole-wielding
rival mini cab drivers. Inside it was a
mess, a filthy grey carpet with haphazardly-trimmed
edges and a couple of Space Invaders games in the
corner. I lived here in my studio on Club Row for several
years when I was a bachelor. When I moved in, I found
I had the benefit of half a dozen phone lines and a
stack of business cards with a blue car graphic and
the words Tower Cars, Fully Insuranced. These 'fully
insuranced' owners had sawn all the bannisters off the
staircase which had a length of carpet nailed to it in a
random fashion. Upstairs, an ancient water heater held
together with dried-out masking tape was dripping in
the corner and chicken wire covered the windows.
Was the whole street like that in the nineties?
Almost everything in the neighbourhood had become
a crumbling wreck while under the dubious charge of
landlords who were too parsimonious to spend any
4 LOVEEAST
money on buildings that seemed to them no more
than burdensome elderly relatives, even if they were in
possession of bountiful legacies.
In one attic, an entire wall wobbled dangerously when
I lent against it. 'Don't worry, there's a few more years
left in that,’ the landlord told me reassuringly, meaning,
'If you think I'll be spending any money on this place,
dream on.’ Once I stood with a neighbour and his
landlord in an ex-sweat shop, watching flames from a
pre-war ceiling mounted gas heater singe a mildewed
flap of wallpaper. 'Yes, I think the burner seems to
be working fine,' he reassured us, before
stepping over a missing floorboard and
walking downstairs to his waiting
Bentley .
The building adjoining my mini
cab office was left derelict and
empty for eight or nine years
after my arrival. Every few
weeks, the owner would appear
in a van and throw bundles of
leather trimmings through the
doorway. Rats lived amongst
the crumbling bin bags and
moulding strips of leather inside.
During dinner at my neighbours, one
of the rats pushed a loose brick from
the wall and stuck his furry face through
the gap, which rather spoiled the cheese course. Yet
despite regular enquiries, none of these people either
wanted to sell or restore their collapsing assets and,
even today, some of these buildings have received no
attention since the blitz.
At the time I was working at Agnews, the old master
picture gallery on Old Bond Street. Some Irish
labourers came into the gallery one afternoon and
asked if anyone wanted to buy some oak floorboards.
They had been using them as ramps for their
wheelbarrows while gutting the old Barclays Bank
which was to become a handbag shop. I persuaded
them to deliver these concrete-splattered planks to my
studio the next day for a hundred pounds in cash, and
I planed and sanded the hefty wide boards and fitted
them upstairs. Downstairs served as The Gallerette for
a year. I laid a smart parquet floor there to improve
the acoustic for an audio exhibition which sounded
muffled without it and I painted the ceiling in the style
of the Palazzo Altieri one rainy Bank Holiday.

East life
Did you find yourself part of a community?
Yes, the community I had entered and which coalesced
around me was quite tight, due in part I think to the
geography of the neighbourhood which felt like
a walled enclave. It was called The Boundary. The
Bengali people who lived on the Boundary Estate
worshipped at two mosques on Redchurch Street
and ran the butcher’s shops, grocers and garment
factories, sometimes socialising at St Hilda’s, our local
community centre - where I went to play badminton
and run off pamphlets on the ancient Gestetner
printing machine.
Here on Redchurch Street, my neighbours worked
mostly in creative fields. There were furniture
designers, a stained glass artist, a saxophonist, a gang
of Italian lesbian anarchists who drove round in a fiat
cinquecento painted in pink leopardskin, a playwright,
a documentary filmmaker, a rubber garment maker
and many more. They lived in the curious collection
of abandoned warehouses, shops and offices, and
were to be found every night in The Owl & Pussycat,
an ex-dog-fighting pub, where the area’s history was
a frequent subject of discussion. Everyone had read
Arthur Morrison's A Child of the Jago and knew the
exact location of Shakespeare's original Theatre. They
spoke about the arcane origins of the street names,
claimed that a 'ley line' ran directly through the nicest
house and on towards the bandstand at Arnold Circus.
I painted a map which was an aerial view of the area
for my friend James Goff who had pioneered this
neglected neighbourhood even before the artists
arrived in Shoreditch,
How did your map-making evolve?
The second map I made of my neighbourhood was an
attempt to encapsulate the history and the lore of the
place as a world unto itself. The area had quite distinct
edges, so I depicted Shoreditch as literally a distinct
world, wrapping the streets around an imagined globe
- a reference to Shakespeare - with his theatre and
characters populating my map.
After this, I wanted to create a map of the area in the
present day. The idea of creating a map of Shoreditch
as it appeared in the dreams of residents came from
hearing friends in The Owl & Pussycat describe how,
in their nocturnal reveries, they had all shared visions
of Shakespeare’s theatre at New Inn Yard. Pursuing
Carl Jung’s concept of collective dreaming, I visited
the Jungian Institute for a symposium on this notion. It
was hilarious. A young German woman with a severe
haircut and a clipboard took notes as the assembled
ragbag of North London Jungians, unaware of just how
much they were revealing, described incidents from
their dreams.
The Character Of A Coffee House:
Image Courtesy of Adam Dant / TAG Fine Arts
'Suddenly my mother appeared and snapped my
spectacles in two,’ was a gem offered to the group
by a confused-looking, frail, elderly man in a tweed
jacket. A gushy young woman with a dense mass
of black wavy hair spoke of 'a huge wave which keeps
rushing on and on but never seems to break.' Despite
offering gold dust for the novelist, this was not what I
was seeking for my map. So I asked local cafe owners
to distribute pamphlets I had produced among their
customers, inviting residents to recall any dreams
that took place in Shoreditch. Over a few months,
I collected descriptions of around sixty dreams set
in the neighbourhood and my Dream Cartography
of Shoreditch employed the streets and buildings
as the landscape for entirely personal subconscious
encounters.
What attracts you to draw maps?
I think my Map of Shoreditch in Dreams illustrates
why cartography as a visual form appeals to me.
The familiar, the quotidian and the eternal elements
of a place can all be captured on a map, with the
streets, the topography and the features providing the
language to manifest a precise vision of a subjective
reality, which might otherwise be overlooked in favour
of a more mundane perspective.
In producing my maps, I seek to depart from
the obvious and superficially useful qualities of
cartography. Instead, by pursuing unexpected, unlikely
or challenging methods of structuring or rendering the
landscape of a place on paper, I hope the outcome is a
work of art rather than just a means to get from A to B.
A map can be a puzzle or a game - a pictorial space
where a viewer can travel through time and project
themselves into history. Unlike a photograph or
a topographic view, which records a location in a
moment in time, a map is a representation of a place
where we continue to extend the threads of physical
history even if these are no longer visible due to being
buried or trodden underfoot.
LOVEEAST OCTOBER - NOVEMBER 2018 5

East life
Even when the buildings remain, the sites of our
daily engagements and our cherished urban nooks
and crannies are constantly being refashioned and
repurposed until they disappear. The layout of our
streets are dug up, rationalised and reordered.
Consequently, our cities get transformed beyond
recognition. Yet even when they are razed to the
ground, all the places where we walk are essentially
constant. In the widest and most profound sense, they
part of a cosmic cartography
that is eternal, infinite and
immutable. As long as we live,
they live in whatever form we
care to imagine them .
Do you have a favourite
cartographer?
John Ogilby, the seventeenth
century Scottish cartographer,
designed his road maps as
trompe l'oeil scrolls, depicting
solely what the traveller needed
to know, cartographically
speaking, in order to get from
one place to another. The
exclusive nature of such maps
embodies the familiar notion
that what the artist leaves out
is as important as what they
include. In creating my maps,
subdivision and organisation
of the source material takes
place in a manner comparable
to an artist laying out colours
on a palette in preparation for
a painting. This categorisation
inevitably ends up as lists,
which means that - unlike a
painter - a cartographer always
knows the moment when the
work is finished, once the last item on the list has been
ticked off.
Of course, there will always be something missing
even from the best maps ,otherwise there would be no
need for explorers. In 2002, during the World Cup in
Japan, I produced a map which could be folded up and
hidden in the heel of a shoe. In the style of John Ogilby,
it showed the most direct route from London to Japan,
identified borders, features of topography and the
major cities. I provided useful phrases in the languages
of all the countries traversed and suggested items
which might be collected and used for barter en-route,
as well as predicting climate and weather conditions to
be anticipated along the way, and even offering panels

where fans could record the progress of their teams
towards the final when they arrived.
How is it possible to draw more than one map of the
same place?
Many of my maps depict the immediate locale of my
home and studio. Although my original intention in
making a different map of Shoreditch every year was
to familiarise myself with the area where I had chosen
to live and work, I soon realised these maps were also
a means of establishing my
presence and identity in this
place.
Just as different artists will
each the see same scene
from their own perspectives,
similarly one person can
recreate the topography of
a place in diverse ways on
diverse occasions. There are
so many contingencies when
we look at a map, and we can
chose to interpret these or we
can choose to take it at face
value. An obvious example of
this is my invention of the art
historical orthodoxy known as
Underneathism, depicting the
world as viewed from beneath.
When the familiar ‘God's eye’
view of the earth is inverted, the
resultant perspective appears
strangely malevolent. Yet
Underneathism also exposes
the familiar reality of isometric
views -utilised by Google street
mapping and video games - as
equally artificial. Their use of
this perspective only appears
to us to be the natural order
because of our exposure to it through years of constant
use.
After a day spent in my studio creating Underneathean
views, I found that stepping out into the street was
as disorientating for me as it must have been for a
Londoner of the eighteenth century to have been
lifted up from the beer garden of a Hackney pub in a
hot air balloon.
What is the future for maps?
In the past, a globe in your pocket, fashioned from
intricately-engraved and hand-painted gores pasted to
a lacquered plaster sphere and housed in a handsome
leather pouch, might represent the apogee of

East life
geographic knowledge. I imagine it elicited the same
kind of thrill and sense of conquest delivered today by
the smartphone app. As new ways of imagining maps
constantly supplant the old, the qualities that we find
beguiling, artistic, quaint, unfamiliar and perverse in
the antique will inevitably be inherited by the app map.
One day, we will laugh at how difficult it was to find
London Underground stations on an iPhone map.
Are some maps better than others?
Like the canon of painting or sculpture, the canon of
cartography - particularly maps of London - is defined
by historic moments embodied in innovative fashion
and new discoveries described with prescient and
appropriate perfection. The resulting maps are often
born of unusual imperatives
and spring from a particular
circumstance. Just such
an example is Harry Beck’s
1931 map of the London
Underground. Despite millions
of Londoners seeing it, using
it and touching it everyday, it
continues to reveal itself as a
cartographic wonder.
Unlike a famous painting
or sculpture, a map can be
altered, annotated, improved
and fiddled with many
times without impugning its
integrity or compromising
its innate expression. In the
creation of my maps, I often
start with a basic template to
which I pin and glue a bunch
of stuff. My work in progress
often looks like those huge table maps you see in war
films, with models of boats and submarines pushed
across them by smart young members of the Women’s
Auxiliary Air Force wielding roulette rakes.
A Journey to the Heart of East London
Image Courtesy of Adam Dant / TAG Fine Arts
The map becomes fascinating to me when everything
is in place, like the frozen moment of theatrical
denouement in the tableau for a history painting. The
pleasure of casting your eyes over a completed map
is contingent on pinning down such a moment in its
evolution, while the subject is at its most interesting -
such as when the engraver Wencelas Hollar depicted
the City of London viewed from the South Bank
immediately preceding the Great Fire of 1666 and,
shortly afterwards, during the conflagration.
What do you look for in a map?
There are so many different kinds of map! There
are maps that fill entire corridors, like those of my
supposed ancestor, Ignazio Danti, at the Vatican Palace
and then there are maps with covers designed by
artists and proffered by London Underground, that you
can slip in your top pocket. Although we need maps to
show us how to get from here to there, once the map
is in our hands we want to feel like the pirate who has
the only existing means of finding where the treasure
is buried .
Do you use maps in your daily life?
While on trains, I often spot an odd landmark or an
interesting rural scene. Nowadays, smartphones allow
me to identify the location of any fleetingly-glimpsed
idyll immediately and learn the history of the place,
and - with the benefit of a long journey - no doubt also
the names and addresses of its shops and inhabitants,
stretching back for as many
years as digitised historical
records exist. The research I
used to do prior to Texan road
trips, regarding the history
of the remote boondocks
‘population 45 souls’ en
route, has been more than
adequately replaced by
consulting local historical
society webpages on my
smartphone.
Yet, despite such convenience
and thoroughness, I still
scribble maps in notebooks
and on scraps of paper to
enable me to arrive at the
correct location for a meeting.
These sketches are more than
a practical device, they are
also an exercise in breaking
free of the tyranny of the compass, since North is not
always at the top of the page. Someone once told
me that dogs evacuate themselves while orientated
towards magnetic North but - having a dog myself -
and, observing its cartographic impulses, I can scotch
this theory. Why should not a map be orientated
according to the direction of travel? Or be rendered
according to any other imperative you please?
What do you say to people who complain they get
lost following your maps?
You are holding it upside down!

Q&A with the versatile and multi-talented
illustrator, typographer and graphic designer
Hannah Rummery
Incorporating a wide range of typographic styles in her design work, from bold, graphic
statements to delicate and playful lettering, Hannah commands her space. The same versatility
can be found in her illustrative work - delicate, stylistic and incredibly detailed nature drawings are
contrasted with gestural, free-flowing watercolours. We find out who's behind all this talent.

10 LOVEEAST
Did you train as a graphic designer or an illustrator -
or both?
My BA was in Graphic Design at Sheffield Hallam
University, but we were encouraged to explore so many
different processes and approaches to our work which
lead me to explore illustration as part of my work. That
was where it started really.
What inspires your drawings?
Natural forms are what really interest me, and the patterns
that can be found in plants and nature. It blows my mind!
Have you ever looked up close at the legs of a bumblebee
and all of those little hairs....it's incredible!
Your pen and ink illustrations are incredibly detailed; how
long does it take to create them?
It can vary really, something like the A4 bumblebee could
take me anywhere from a day to 3 days depending on the
level of detail I'm exploring and size of the piece
Typography plays a significant role in your design work
- I love how you intermingle bold, large typography with
playful, hand-drawn lettering; if you were a font, what
would you be?
If I was a typeface, I would be one called 'History'. It's got
so many flourishes and elements that you can build to
create something unique every time. I take that approach
to all of my work really, start with something simple
and work into it.
Your layering of the laser cut typography against nature
in the 'Visit Wales' project is so interesting; how did you
come about that idea?
The idea behind the Wales map was to find a way
for people who didn't know much about the place and
help show them how much it had to offer. The research
for that project was so interesting, there were so many
things that I had no idea Wales housed in relatively small
area. That's where the combination of the map and
typography idea came from. I used a sheet of acrylic so
that the reflection was what you'd think of when you
imagine Wales, but the map told another layer of the

East life
story. I love digging deep
into a brief or idea to find
the little nuggets that help
give my work a story or
narrative.
You’ve worked for award
winning agencies on some
very large-scale projects
with big brands in retail
and fashion, and now you have
struck out on your own; how has
that transition been and do
you miss the agency buzz?
It's been really exciting! I've
been working at lots of different creative agencies
on some really exciting briefs since going it alone,
a lot of which have been an opportunity to use
my illustration. I love meeting and working with
new people so that was something that influenced my decision to make
the change. I wanted to try lots of different things and have the time
and headspace when I needed it to be able to work on my own personal
projects too. I've also become a member of some great organisations
which make you feel like you're part of a wider community of creatives
and people trying to do the same thing; the AOI, E17 Designers and East
London Trades Guild namely.
What's the proudest moment in your career so far?
Taking the leap of faith and going out on my own, trusting in my ability and
believing in myself. It was, and still is a really hard mindset to adjust to!
Describe your ideal client or brief.
Someone brave that wants to make a change for the better, and work with
me to find the answer. I love my clients to be as involved as they want to
be. It helps them to be more invested in the idea and the outcome.
Best part of the job?
I'm lucky, I love pretty much everything about my job! Starting a new
project and working out the story that I want to tell is up there, but you
can't beat a day of getting messy, drawing, creating and trying new things
out. My job is also my hobby so you can usually find me drawing, crafting
or at a class learning new skills and approaches to help enhance my work.
And the worst?
Wondering where my next job is going to come from!! Fortunately, I'm yet
to be in a position where I don't have work or projects on the go, but I'm
sure there will be a time when that will happen and that's a moment
I dread!
Any advice for aspiring designers or illustrators?
Be brave, be original, don't give up....you're going to come up against a few
road blocks in the start of your career but as you gain experience and meet
people that will change. Get out there and go for it!!

We've discovered
the ultimate guide
to London’s street
markets
I was recently approached by Andrew
Kershman of Metro Publications, who asked
if I’d be interested in reviewing his latest
book, London’s Markets, and, being a fan
of our many street markets, the idea
immediately piqued my interest.
Small but perfectly formed
Coming in at just under 400 pages and
at a compact, A6 size, this little book
is a treasure trove for anyone who
likes to meander through a London street
market. It covers London generally, and breaks down
areas in a clear, colour-coded system for easy reference.
In addition to London's internationally known street markets such as
Berwick Street, Covent Garden, Portobello Road and Petticoat Lane, the book also
covers the lesser known and is extensive, including car boot sales, farmers markets, pop ups and vintage
fairs. Unsurprisingly, East London commands the largest section of the book. We rock!
Between the covers
The guide is written in a friendly, honest and easy-going style, making it
both useful and a pleasure to read. It's well researched and buttressed
with great images and includes simple, yet beautifully illustrated, maps for
each market. It also provides web and social media links as well as opening
times and transport links, making it easy to plan your foraging excursions.
The inside back cover also folds out with a colour coded map of London
and an easy-to-follow index on the left hand page so that you can get your
bearings, and - this is a real bonus - it has a Week at a Glance section at
the back, enabling you to plan your visits according to days of the week,
location and types of market.
Unsurprisingly,
East London
commands the
largest section
of the book
Clearly, Andrew put a lot of thought into how someone would want to use the guide and it's a musthave
for any fan of street markets. It will also make a great stocking stuffer or Secret Santa gift come
Christmas time.
A word to the wise - Andrew explains in the introduction that the book is but a snapshot because, by
their very nature, street markets can often be a moveable feast. In other words, use it as a guide but
check before you travel.
London's Markets can be purchased for £9.99 directly from the publisher: metropublications.com

Bell from Bow
Winter is coming - the good and the bad about the changing
of seasons when you're a parent
It’s colder. It’s damp. There are soggy leaves in the park to skip through, but lots of
them conceal aged dog turds that the toddler cuts in half with his scooter. There are
so many reasons to dread winter.
1. Getting out of the house with kids
is hardcore even on a summer’s
day. Getting them dressed
in winter is like dressing a
squid on acid. Lip balm
on chapped mouths, two
gloves, ideally matching,
per child. Layers for them.
Layers for you. You are
boiling before you walk out
of the front door, and as soon
as you get out you freeze.
2. Killing long sunny days in
the park works well in June.
In November you spend a fortune
warming up in the café, one or the other will
fall in a puddle, and it gets dark at 3pm anyway.
You spend long afternoons indoors looking at
the condensation building on the window as
you watch Moana for the eleventy-billionth time.
At bedtime, everyone is irritable because they
haven’t run off the day’s energy. You have to eat
chocolate biscuits hiding in the loo so the kids
don’t eat them too.
3. Having to get up for night-wakings. when the
house is icy cold, the tiled floors make your toes
curl, and your wee babies still need you, is grim.
4. Being snotty. Because the nursery lurgy will last
until April, as will the runny noses, and piles of
snotty tissues.
5. The clocks change. And that hour’s difference
screws your well-honed routine for at least a week.
Not even the Gro-Clock can save you.
6. Winter-loving, Christmas obsessed people,
screaming about red cups, festive cheer and
snowflakes are hugely irritating. Sod off. I miss the
summer. I miss rosé.
But it’s not all bad.
1. The colours. The leaves are amazing. You can
teach your kids copper and auburn, rather than
ABOUT CELINE
orange and yellow. Stick leaves onto bits
of paper, catch them as they fall, and
jump into the massive piles of them
blown into a corner of a park
(ignore my comments about
dog turds.)
Mum from bow, gin addict, perma-knackered, fan of food,
coffee and cheese. Follow Celine for more adventures in
parenting:
@bell_from_bow
@bell_from_bow
bellfrombow.com
2. The pub afternoons. Take
an iPad and ignore the judgy
looks as you order pints for the
grown-ups and crisps for the
kids. Stay warm by the fire and
hunker down.
3. The food. A huge roast, spilling
off the plate. Bonfire Night hotdogs.
Halloween chocolate binges. Eating the
advent calendar before December starts. Because
you can keep your bikini body under wraps til at
least June.
4. The clothes. Cover that jacket-potato-lard with
a fluffy cardigan, thermal leggings, woolly socks
and ideally have a cat on your lap at all times. A
cuddly toddler will do.
5. September is behind us. That new-schoolyear-new-pencil-case
feeling is over. No more
headlines screaming at you to have a fresh start
(at least til January, when "NEW YEAR, NEW
YOU" makes you want to jump out of a window).
You can be selfish, and hunker down. You can say
in ominous tones, “Winter is coming.”
6. Cuddling for warmth. Beware. This got me
knocked up. Maybe not so wise after all.

Post-Summer Skin Care
tips by Dr Saira Vasdev
Whether you have been on
vacation or staycation, its been
a long, hot summer and it’s time
to shed some dead skin cells
and work on repairing some of
the sun-related damages that
have inevitably occurred over
the last few months.
Support the skin’s natural barrier and restore
equilibrium to our cell’s daily processes by mixing
a couple of drops of our iconic Pai Rosehip
BioRegenerate Oil into your night cream to replenish
dry skin and restore radiance to dull, lacklustre skin.
It works amazingly on our hair and body too!
Ramp up your skin’s glow by buffing away dead
skin cells with an intensive mini facial at home. We
recommend introducing the Alumier M.D. Enzymatic
Peel once a week alongside your regular skincare
to refine the skin’s texture and even out skin tone
resulting in brighter baby fresh skin.
“Better skin from within” is our mantra here at
Skin & Sanctuary and what better way to support
our skin’s recovery than with a daily hit of Skinade.
Packed with hydrolysed collagen, antioxidants and
vitamins. Skinade has been scientifically proven to
boost our skin’s own natural collagen levels, restore
hydration and reduce inflammation that can lead to
premature ageing.
Get your skin back on with a Visia Skin Analysis
to check the health of your skin. It can unveil
underlying sun damage, hyperpigmentation and
inflammation that has not yet surfaced. With this
knowledge you can get a head start with treating
your skin with a targeted approach to maximise your
results from both your home skincare and in-clinic
treatments.
Revive tired skin with Profhilo - the ultimate in
injectable skincare. It works to replenish hyaluronic
acid levels to hydrate, smooth and plump the
skin. It’s unique HydroLift technology results in an
immediate tightening effect and improvement in skin
quality with zero downtime. It’s quite sensational.
Dr Saira Vasdev is the Co-Founder and Medical
Director at Skin & Sanctuary.

East life
Have you noticed the doors
It's true to say that we often don't see the wood for the trees. We
walk, bus or cycle past the same things each day as we go about
our business and barely remember how we got from A to B, never
mind taking much notice of our surroundings. After all, we see it
every day, so what's to really 'see'? Well, a lot actually, and in this
case, doors.
We recently discovered Lorena Perez, who has made a point of 'noticing the
everyday' - in particular, the doors of Walthamstow, which she photographs and
collects in her popular instagram feed. Far from mundane, there are some real
beauties to behold, and it's interesting to note that something so common to us all
can be incredibly self-expressive.
Lorena hails from Spain originally and has been living in the UK for the past 4 years.
She's also lived in The Netherlands, Italy and Greece - a well-travelled European who,
no doubt, has seen a fair few doors along the way.
Lorena used to model when she was younger, which is how she got
introduced to photography. She began by taking pictures of buildings,
monuments and general architecture, mostly in black and white, to create

East life
of Walthamstow lately?
a melancholic mood. Soon after beginning her travels, she found other subjects of
interest; things that were more colourful and more “alive”.
When she moved to Walthamstow she often walked or cycled around the area, which is
how the houses and doors caught her attention.
Lorena says: The doors are colourful and some of them have beautiful stained glass
panels and pretty hanging baskets full of flowers. It’s easy to overlook the beauty of
things you see on a daily basis so I thought I should take pictures of the most eyecatching
ones and get them all together on instagram."
Looking at the positive feedback and comments from her followers, it seems to be
working.
It's fun to be a connoisseur of the street - or, to use Baudelaire's phrase, "a botanist of
the sidewalk". It's part of the urban experience, and here in East London we are spoilt
for choice in terms of urban eye candy, particularly in the form of street art, murals and
humourous artist interventions. But the everyday also brings beauty and often a smile
if we but take the time to notice and really look. You may be surprised at what little
gems you come across.

and sometimes quirky doors of Walthamstow: @doors_of_walthamstow To view her

The Associate Artist Residency
Programme at The Old Church
Regular readers will know that as well as being the only surviving
Elizabethan church in London, The Old Church in Stoke Newington is also
a vibrant arts and performance venue, hosting a variety of music, art, dance,
and performance events. Kaz recently had the pleasure of meeting artistic
director Deborah Coughlin, who talked with her about their new Associate
Artist Residency Programme and how it came about.
When Deborah took on the role of artistic director, one of the first things
she did was to conduct an audit of the organisation in order to solidify
its vision and purpose going forward. In looking at The Old Church’s
long history of community engagement, as well as its engagement with
the arts, it was clear that those two features were its heartbeat, and this
sparked an idea. Why not create an artist residency programme that would
support artists as well as enrich the community? And thus, the Associate
Artist Residency Programme was brought into existence and will host and
support six resident artists over the coming year.
As part of the band, Lone Taxidermist, Natalie
Sharpe’s malicious metier lurks somewhere between
the eldritch diva manifestations of Diamanda Galas and
the wry reflections of Victoria Wood, yet equally driven
by a magpie spirit and conceptual chutzpah. Lone
Taxidermist will debut BodyVice at The Old Church, a
multi-sensory, ever expanding live performance art &
audio visual project, based around the body as a device.
Tej Adeleye is a writer, researcher, facilitator and
programmer and is currently doing research with the
Stuart Hall Foundation and working at the George
Padmore Institute, exploring 50 years of Black and
Asian British cultural activism. She also hosts the radio
show, Floating Roofs, every Sunday morning at 10 on
NTS Radio. Tej will be using The Old Church space to
devise a sound installation showing in Summer 2019.
The installation will use music and storytelling to build
on some of the research she currently working on.

Celebrating Artistic Diversity in Forest Gate
October sees
The Gate Library
hosting a large,
salon style
exhibition of
paintings and
drawings by a
diverse group of
local Newham
artists.
Building on the success of last year’s exhibition, hosted by Forest
Gate Arts in what was their temporary space in Upton Lane, the
artists secured a grant from Newham Council to host this year's
exhibition.
The artists created their work in the Fine Art Classes at Forest
Gate Learning Zone, under the guidance of tutor Jonathan Waller,
himself a professional artist. The variety of art on display reflects the
diversity of artists and most of the artworks are for sale.
There will also be artist-led art workshops on Tuesday and Thursday
afternoons throughout October, and some of the artists will be
available throughout the exhibition to chat about their work.
The exhibition will culminate in a closing event where prizes of art
materials will be awarded to adults and children who have produced
their own art pieces in response to the exhibition during the
workshops.
Scores of people signed the visitors book at their 2017 exhibition and
here are a few of their comments:
“What a great vibrant exhibition of works from talented enthusiastic
Newham based folk. Keep it up!”
“An enriching activity which opens up doors in diversity.”
“I was so surprised to see such an array of great Artwork. I feel this is
so important for the area.”
“I’m from Sudan. I think this exhibition is something special for the
area where many people come from abroad to live in UK.”
“Wonderful paintings. Makes me want to start art school. I love the
variety. Fab for community”
The exhibition runs from the 3 rd to the 27 th of October, with
workshops every Tuesday and Thursday.

Wellness
Personal trainer Roger Love offers you some
practical advice to get your autumn fitness
regime started
As the shorts and swimwear days of summer become
distant memories, thoughts often turn to exercise.
Whether it is to maintain how great you felt on holiday
or to make sure you feel even better next year, now is
the time to get yourself on mission.
Getting fit has three pillars: exercise, food and
activity - and you need address each one.
EXERCISE This is the intense work to improve your
fitness, whether it is your living-room or park workout,
a gym class, a run, or a
personal training session.
Here are three principles
- adapted from Rich
Roll, a fiftysomething
corporate lawyer turned
vegan ultra-runner (yes,
I can’t believe he doesn’t
live in Hackney, either),
that may help you burst
into action.
Mood follows action If
you are not feeling ‘it’ in
term of exercise, just do
something - anything - to get started, say 10 press-ups
a day or a minute of jumping jacks thrice a week. The
rest will follow.
Don’t let perfection be the enemy of progress Don’t
feel that you have to do the perfect routine to begin.
Start simple. As you begin to feel a change - which you
will - you can move on.
Don’t be afraid to set a goal that scares you If you feel
a goal helps to drive you, make it meaty. If you know
you can achieve it, then all you are doing is checking
off a list. Be ambitious.
FOOD Whether you want to lose weight, have more
energy or perform better, you need to get your food
right.
Start with a personal audit of what you are eating and
drinking. Be honest with yourself and write it down. Are
you drinking too much alcohol, eating excessive sugary
snacks, or missing out on green vegetables?
After that, everyone needs a healthy eating plan. There
are plenty out there to choose from (and you can
make up your own), but the guiding principle is that
you are going to eat normal food in the right amounts
and ratios. You could start your planning by looking at
books, websites and apps by writers such as Michael
Mosley, the BBC doctor who wrote the Fast Diet;
Madeleine Shaw; and Joe Wickes. They all encourage
normal, healthy eating.
If you want the personal
touch, there is highly
regarded nutritionist
in Hackney called Matt
Lovell (just Google him).
ACTIVITY This is the
day-to-day movement
in your life, the walking,
gardening, dancing
and physical work. This
is often under-rated,
but is important for
heart, head and waist.
If you are desk-bound,
you need to get moving - walking to work, and at
weekends or - as a last resort - round the office like the
presidential staff in TV’s The West Wing who conducted
business while on the move.
If you are looking for a meaty walking event, Action
Challenge run a 20km walk around London in January.
It can be harder than you think, but you do get snacks
and a medal if you finish. See www.londonwinterwalk.
com
If that whets your appetite, they organise a 100k
London to Brighton walk in May. I did it last year in 28
hours. Now, that is a meaty challenge.

The wine guide
Tempranillo, the
heart and soul of
Spanish wines
Although Britain seems to have an enduring love
with Rioja, as almost half of the Spanish wines
imported here come from this region, not everyone
knows that Tempranillo is the most important red
grape variety responsible for the production of the
Rioja wines.
The name comes from the word temprano which in Spanish means ‘early’, because of its propensity to ripen
earlier than the other local grapes.
Tempranillo really is the heart and soul of the Iberian wines. Virtually planted all over Spain and with over
thirty synonyms (including Tinto Fino, Tinta Madrid, Verdiell and Tinta de Toro) the thick-skinned, dark
coloured grapes of Tempranillo are very versatile and able to produce different styles of wine from many
regions.
From the vino joven (young wine), destined for an early consumption, to the more mature style of Crianza
and Reserva in Rioja; from the very concentrated and full bodied red
from Toro appellation to the more complex wines from Ribera del
Duero. Also and because of its innate aromatic neutrality, Tempranillo
combines very well with other grape varieties (especially Garnacha, to
make the classic Rioja blend) and it’s ideal for long barrel ageing and a
great companion wine of many foods and dishes. The best examples
of Tempranillo come from vineyards located at a relatively high
altitude where they can express a better balance and freshness.
In Vinarius we always have numerous Tempranillo based
wines in stock covering all the main styles and appellation
but we have a striking preference for Horten Tempranillo, a
wine we import from Encomienda de Cervera.
The estate is located in the National Park of the Campo
de Calatrava with vineyards between 750 and 850 mt
of altitude and blessed by a very fertile soil from the
extinct volcano. The award winning wine is named after
the beautiful owner of the estate, Horten Espinosa, and
for good reason, as it can be considered their signature
wine. This Tempranillo is very elegant and easy to drink
and shows a very seductive fruitiness with blueberry, red
plum and a touch of vanilla pod. Medium-to-full-bodied
on the palate with a nice crunchiness, a firm but well
levigated tannins and a very neat finish.
If you want to discover more about Tempranillo wines please
check our website and book a place for our October Wine
Tasting and Supper Club about Spain.

Eating In
Vinarius Resident chef Sophie Hill shares
a recipe for Spiced Vegetables.
“This is a really yummy, healthy and easy to
make dish. I’ve cooked it in restaurants, for
parties and for my family at home, and
every last bit is mopped up with tasty
bread. You can use any vegetables
you like; root veg work particularly
well. I’ve suggested a few here that I
use myself.”
Ingredients
1 butternut squash, peeled and seeded
500g beetroot
1 head cauliflower
5 whole cloves garlic (don’t bother peeling)
3 large carrots
1 teaspoon of cumin seeds(crushed)
1 teaspoon coriander seeds (crushed)
Salt and pepper
Mint leaves and pomegranate seeds
Spiced Yoghurt
200ml Greek or natural yoghurt
½ tsp Sumac
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Serves 4
Method
To begin, I boil the beetroot first (in salted water),
as their cooking time is much longer than the rest
of the vegetables, then cut them along with all the
other veg into nice large bite-size pieces, and toss
them in a roasting tray with 1 teaspoon of crushed
cumin seeds and 1 teaspoon of crushed coriander
seeds, a good glug of olive oil and season to taste
with sea salt and pepper.
I roast in a hot (approx.200’c) oven, tossing
occasionally, till tender and golden brown
Serve with roughly chopped mint leaves and
pomegranate seeds , and an extra glug of good
olive oil as well as dollops of lovely spiced yoghurt.
This is a great side dish to grilled meat too, I love it
with lamb especially.
Tip: For those with infants, reserve a
handful of the vegetables to steam together
and mash for a hearty meal.

Five East London food
places for a Sunday
family revive
Eating Out
Sue Whitehead shares some places to take the family
for an impromptu Sunday brunch or early lunch. Go on.
The homework and DIY chores will still be there when
you get back and parking restrictions often don’t apply
on a Sunday.
Arch Rivals, Forest Gate
Been here a few times and the food is consistently good. Relaxed
décor under the rail arches with touches of retro. Friendly service and
a very good music playlist. The owners are clearly passionate about
what they do and we lucky visitors get to enjoy all their efforts. You will
return.
Rehab, Well Street
Describes itself as a ‘medicinal’ vegan café and the food is excellent
and all made fresh and in-house. I love the Nacho bowl and the banana
pancakes with organic date caramel ice-cream. My teenager has been
back since our last visit, on her own, with friends. High praise indeed!
Café Route, Dalston
This Mediterranean gem next to the water fountains of Dalston Square
is one to check out. I went for a coffee and pastry on my way to a
meeting and plan to return to try its lunch menu. Extensive breakfast
choices cater for both meat-eaters and vegetarians. Lunch menu
looks fantastic too - 3 salads for £9.50 or four for £10.45 along with
a selection of main meals (vegetarian and non-vegetarian) and meat
burgers. Remember towels if taking little ones who will doubtless want
to play in the water fountains in the car-free square it overlooks.
The Bach, Broadway Market
Great range of smoothies and juices to ensure you get your 5 a day.
Tried the Freddie Vegetarian Special breakfast though found myself
eyeing my neighbour’s French Toast. Relaxed vibe, dog-friendly. Check
out the nearby Artwords bookshop for a good Sunday read to take
home.
The Albion, Shoreditch
The Whitehead ‘fam’ liked the food, décor and location and have asked
to go again. Selection of the healthy (salads for lunch or quiona for
breakfast) and the not-so-healthy (burgers, pies and fish and chips).
Outside tables in summer, cosy in winter.

History
Mr Handel Comes To Hackney
One Sunday, so it was said, the great composer George Handel visited St John at
Hackney. He wanted to play the church’s organ, which he had heard was very good.
Mr Handel approached the organist to ask if he could play. The organist quickly formed
the opinion that this man, whom he did not know from Adam, was rather an inquisitive and
troublesome fellow. Rather than ask him
to play during the service, the organist
grudgingly agreed that, if he liked, Mr
Handel could play at the end of the
service, as the congregation was leaving.
After the Rector had dismissed the
congregation, Mr Handel, having waited
patiently, had his chance to try the
organ he had travelled to Hackney to
play. Instead of filing out, as they usually
did during their organist’s voluntaries,
Mr Handel’s playing stopped the
congregation in their tracks. They turned
to listen.
The organist, though, was not
impressed. “Mr Handel,” he said, “if it
be you, pray do not give yourself any
further trouble, for the people will not
go as long as you sit here.” Upon which
the organist replaced Mr Handel at the
keyboard and, in a trace, the people
cleared the church.
This anecdote comes from one of the
many documents held by Hackney
Achieves (hackney.gov.uk/archives). In
this case, it is ‘Notes and cuttings on the
history of Shacklewell and Kingsland‘
(HAD/M3230) compiled by A.J. Hooper,
who moved to Shacklewll Green at the
end of the 19th century and recorded
stories he heard about Hackney’s past.
Mr Hooper gives no date as to when
George Handel came to Hackney. It must
have been between 1712, when Handel
settled in London, and his death in 1759.
Of course, the church he played
in was not today’s building off Lower
Clapton Road, but the old church whose
medieval tower still stands opposite
McDonalds’s on Mare Street.
Looking for something to do one weekend? Intrigued to
find out more about Hackney?
Look up walkhackney.co.uk and pick a walk that takes
your fancy. The next four are in this edition's What's On
section. I look forward to welcoming you on one of my
walks.
