I did agree with the artist may be the audience plays a part in wether exhibitions are successfully received and “make a difference”. Saying things, exhibitions and other forms of expression can just be seen, accepted and forgotten. It may take a campaign and many years including education to…

Week 23: Friday ADAS drop in.
After our SOI pitches I had a drop in session with Alaya where she checked though the portfolio example I had prepared for my failing light project. what I am writing is much near to what they suggested, but I still need to remove the repetitions and edit my text down to a concise, appropriate,…

Week 22: cave painting.
I am becoming more interested in my instinctive interest in ”Domestic Art”. Cave painting (decorating our living spaces, recording our daily lives) reads as domestic to me as it is a form of teaching/learning or entertaining so ingrained in our make up that we deny it at our peril. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/newly-discovered-indonesian-cave-art-may-represent-worlds-oldest-known-hunting-scene-180973761/?utm_source=smithsoniandaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20191212-daily-responsive&spMailingID=41324770&spUserID=NzQwNDUzMzg2MTYS1&spJobID=1661177450&spReportId=MTY2MTE3NzQ1MAS2

Clouds come into this some where along with magic carpets – think I understand why. Adventures which start with a quest/project and your adventure…
Week 22:Collections.
I have realised I collect, gather, rearrange and transform. I Some times this is cooking, nest building or my practise. I hesitate to call it painting. Often it’s my family, which drives them mad. Sometimes it’s painting. Drawing seems to be my way of connecting it all. Explaining it. I’m surprised I haven’t done more…
Week 22: Kitchen Cupboard Paint – Yellow and Red.

Then ate the left overs for lunch . A few more to try I’ve hit my drawing supplies now. Should produce white…
