Friday 9th 'Collaborate' Day 1


A wonderful day both in terms of weather and conversation. We began with a tour around the reserve kindly provided by the conservation team. This beautiful place was an enchanting as always and we had some lovely experiences. Saw some birds and fungi and took lots of photographs. For the afternoon we each shared our practices and current interests, concerns and challenges. True collaboration/conversation is born out of honesty, integrity, openness and a willingness to share. All of the artists involved in the project overflowed with these qualities and brought a huge amount to the process. Quickly common threads of interest began to emerge which allowed for questioning, exploring and a great conversation! Looking forward to tomorrow and what will emerge. For me today brought a unique opportunity to try to describe my current visual research. Its such a challenge to articulate what is in your head in a coherent way when the thoughts haven't fully formed yet. But its essential to try in order to begin to make sense of new work.
