New Collaboration with Miss Potter
This week Hayley Potter and I headed into the woods for an inky beginning to our new artistic collaboration.
Hayley has been one of The Bookshelf artists and performed for the live art piece twice now, and that is how we met. She was also an active participating illustrator during The Monochronium last October and Through working together we realised that our art practices have many cross overs and thought it would be great to collaborate.
We both like black ink and being in the woods, and we thought that this was a great place to start, so here are some images of what we did.
We don't know where it is all going at the moment (of course we have some ideas) but we are enjoying the organic growth of working on a new project together. I will showcase our collaboration during my next exhibition at Lighthouse Poole this Summer as well as blog updates to show the progress of our work, so keep posted!

Brilliant!
I just found out today that I will be creating a new work of art for Brilliance, the new emerging light festival in Poole. I am delighted with this as it is a new local project in association with Poole Arts Development and will hopefully grow over the coming years to be a well-established festival.
Here's a little peak at my plans for the piece I will be creating in collaboration with a Florist.

New Project for 2012 - Inspire 52
I am getting revved up for the launch of my '52' project, a challenging art project which will take me on a creative journey through 2012, whereby I will document my art practice through 52 new inspirations, one each week, over the coming year - and I have just received my logo today, so what better time but to launch my blog!! Yay!
I will document each new piece of my journey and communicate my findings, art work, poems or other pieces I create on this blog so that you can follow my ups and down, revelations and frustrations of challenging my art practice over the next year - I'm really looking forward to it!! - So become my friend on Facebook, subscribe to my blog and follow my artistic journey over the next year - there is a lot to come to hold onto your hats and wigs! (I do love a good wig - see my Monochronium pics!!)
I am also delighted that my good friend, photo artist, event facilitator and perfectionist detail extraordinaire, Howard Shepherd will be joining me on the 52 journey for 2012 with 'Image 52'. Howard will be approaching the 52 project through the photographic image ... His blog is coming soon too - also check out his fab logo. Howard is the Director of 'FAB' Film Arts Bournemouth 2012 - so he will have lots of interesting insights into his artistic world coming up.
The first 52 project was launched by Caroline Parrott at the beginning of 2011 and she is almost at the end of her creative journey, on the first 52 project 'Make 52'. Each week Caroline has been making a new piece that furthers her artistic 'craft' practice, stretching and challenging her through a journey of artistic exploration. I am delighted that over the last year Caroline's and my artistic paths have crossed on several occasions and I and my work have been the subject of Caroline's Make 52's on three occasions when she has been involved with The Bookshelf, The Monochronium, and also following me to illustrate a live performance. Please see the links below and also explore her journey more on her blog.
