Exploring the sense of smell. Seated on the floor on a large white cloth children work together sharing a large Indonesian style spice mortars. We introduce them to kaffir lime leaves, black pepper, whole green cardamom, anis stars, cinnamon and allspice. As the pods are broken and pulverised the room fills with inter mingling smells. Later we mix the ground spices with oil and rice glue and make smell paintings on blotting paper. Nose paintings to bring home and to remember this day by.
