Catherine - thank you for letting us into your beautiful space - all 9 of us!We have a wonderful core group (#4) of MoJoians - the results of the first class of Module 1 were SO creative.
An essential part of creative thinking is to unpack ones thoughts in a visual way. Ideas and concepts are made flesh and somehow, therefore become further evidence to be explored. The following are some wonder journal pages from the second and third group of creatives. We are unpacking seeds as metaphors for ideas. This is not everyone in the group, but these images give the idea of digging and delving, searching and revealing layers in order to UNDERSTAND. Most of us will be meeting again on the 10th November and then lets see how much more gets unravelled. We will also be painting and discussing The Medici Effect in workshop 3. I am looking forward! We held this class at eye4art, but the next will be held in my studio at home. We will then revert back to the gallery space.
We had a great evening - and I think by the end, brains were a little boggled?! The group melded beautifully and the nurturing environment enabled us all to step into the liminal space - the first breath, arms flung back before we all take a leap off the high-dive board. We know what we know, we know what we don't know, but its time to feel and become familiar with the spaces in-between. The class of participants - we were 3 short, so we have to work a way to get the others to do Workshop 1. First results after workshop 1. Don't be fooled - these will be VERY different by the time you see them at the end. Thanks again Michelle and Zelda - Zelda - that mushroom soup was the best I've ever tasted.I look forward to the next bowl of delicious!! A closer view: - I won't tell you how we got here, thats for you to come and see for yourself.
Workshops are on-going, but my photographing is not! These are the last photo's taken at a workshop held during the Letters to Spring exhibition. It was fabulous class - just the right size for a one-off GIVE ME BACK MY MOJO! Things come out - as they are want to... but thats ok - thinking about 'blocks' is the first step in accessing truly creative thinking.
