The Everyday People


I remember watching a clay animation, when I was a kid, of a little town filled with friendly people going about their everyday life. It was quite mundane without much action. The biggest conflict in the story would only be about a mother thinking her baby had measles when they were in fact specks of paint. A painter was painting a wall when the mother had pushed the pram past him.

But the characters were very adorable. A lot like this butcher doll I bought from the Great Western Antique Market in Bath. And also because the story was set in the everyday life - the area in which I'm most interested.

To me, the everyday life is the most profound, intricate and conflicting place to be.
