Process and Practice

The importance of thinking through making has become an area of interest that I am exploring with others. 

I want to explore how we as a society engage in ideas of process and practice.  My stimulation for starting this has come from badges I have recently found that belonged to my grandmother.  this is leading me to understand my early childhood influences and the role of the brownies and guides and shaping my thinking.  It is timely to consider their influence as they celebrate their centenary this year.  I hope to write an article for a new publication I am helping to set up - ARTMOVEMENT PROCESSES and PRACTICES.  Any contributions to this particular line of enquiry would be welcome (add comment - see below)

Claiming creativity - why creativity is important and thoughts about how we can raise its profile and value creativity as a profession

archifest 2009 - Slough

Artist in residence at Slough Museum as part of Archifest 2009.  I worked with the local community and local artists to create an installation that explored people's relationship with the architecture of Slough, past, present and future.  See photo albums for further images
 
 

art apprentices

I have just set up a new experimental venture with a young artist that we are calling 'art apprentices'.  The idea came from a young friend of mine who needed a professional artist to work with as part of her art awards, to make work and share it with others.  As a fan of blog sites I suggested that we communicate all aspects of our project as a conceptual art piece to make a joint piece of work from instructions that we give to each other.  The blog will be used to coach and mentor each other as artists and to share our journey with other young people and mature artists who might be able to learn or share with us.
