6 artists 6 schools
I have realised that I omitted to share this on my blog...
In 2015, I was chosen to take part in a community project called 6 artists - 6 schools. The selected artist was to produce some artwork with school children and their chosen community in order to celebrate the children artmarks achievements. The whole project was recorded and later exhibited at the Discovery Centre in Greenwich in July 2015.
My setup involved working with 2 reception classes and for our work to be permanently exhibited at the Vista Field Children’s Centre in Eltham, London.
After my initial visit, I realised that too many restrictions applied to putting anything inside the building and I therefore opted to have the permanent installation outside the building.
I decided to create a "zen garden" entitled Positive ripples- where children and community alike could come to hear, see, feel and generally take some time out to reflect, being inspired by the work around them.
There was 3 main ideas:
The sound - a giant windchime where children would cut out shapes in slabs of clay and where a swirl would be printed onto it.
The visual - 7 poles painted with black and white lines (easy colours for babies to see) and relating to ripples.
The kinesthetics - 7 half spheres made by the children where coils and pieces of clay were added to moulds and sealed to the ground. Used as seats or to stand on and to feel their textures...in the colours of the rainbow.

Les Oreades- William Bourgereau
Les Oréades
Les Oréades sont des nymphes
des montagnes et des grottes (la plus connue est Echo), réputées sortir
en troupes alertes et joyeuses pour lancer le cerf, poursuivre le
sanglier et percer de leurs flèches les oiseaux de proie. Au signal de
Diane, elles accourent prendre part à ses exercices et lui former un
brillant cortège. Le catalogue du Salon de 1902 donne, après le titre,
ce long commentaire : "Les ténèbres se dissipent ; radieuse l'aurore
paraît et colore d'une teinte rose la cime des monts. Alors s'envole
vers le ciel une longue théorie ; c'est la troupe joyeuse des Nymphes
qui, pendant la nuit, prenaient leurs ébats à l'ombre des grands bois,
au bord du fleuve aux eaux tranquilles ; elles quittent la terre, et,
sous les yeux des faunes étonnés, regagnent leur patrie et les régions
éthérées où habitent les dieux".
Avec ce tableau, Bouguereau se montre chevillé à son idéal d'une peinture académique. Comme dans un autre tableau du musée d'Orsay, L'Assaut, la mythologie est ici un prétexte pour faire montre de son époustouflant talent de dessinateur, capable de saisir toutes les attitudes du corps humain. La mythologie permet également de se commettre dans le registre érotique (le regard concupiscent des Satyres est, à cet égard, sans ambigüité), sans toutefois verser dans la grivoiserie.
Avec cette envolée de corps féminins, Bouguereau ose un tableau d'une imagination débridée, sans négliger une note poétique, sensible dans l'extraordinaire paysage crépusculaire du second plan, digne de Corot, et mâtiné d'accents symbolistes. I

Personal
I realised that it is always difficult for me to explain my train of thoughts (this is probably one of the reasons for my choosing to be an artist, although it seems we have to be good at writing too these days).
Anyhow, this morning i realized that all my work concentrate on the vulnerability and fragility of being human, and perhaps the only real protection to the self is in the mind, taking care of it in order to not loose it! Slowing down and pay real attention to what we do, seems to make us more content in the long run, achieving produce only a short lived happiness and require more madness in order to get to the next fix of happiness.
Consistency is the lifeblood of progress.
