A couple of years ago (when I was asleep) I had a beautiful dream which involved a small art space with a wooden floor and white walls; a small group of artists about 6 or 7 (I don't remember how many there were in the dream exactly); and Gwen Stephani. In the dream I had never been to this art space before and was only there to visit my girlfriend at the time as she was part of the art group and they were working on something or toher. As I entered the building, there was an small ramshackle empty corner area just inside the door to the right, and not wishing to disturb anyone or anything, I decided to just sit inside and wait for her. I could see what was hoing on though the perspex windows, and they could see I was there, so that was fine. Whenever my girlfriend needed a break or to come and chat she could, and I could just sit and see what they were working on without disturbing their creative process.
As I sat their for a few minutes, my open office cubicles with the partition walls, except it was much more interesting, the two partiton walls were more solid and made of a dark light wood, they were fixed to the wall, and I really liked the fact that it had persex windows. The only chair was the the one I was currently sitting in, ans as I slowly swiveled around in it I thought this sapce would make a great office or entrance both for visitors, it needed a clean and tidy up, but it seemed almost perfect for a range of multi-purpose art functions; they've done well to get this space I thought, it's perfect, not too large, or to small, not intimidating, yet I could sense a sort of relaxed art chic-ness going on outside the booth. I was glad I hadn't just blundered in and upset their dynamic. Then I heard music from just above me and looked up and saw two old speakers attached to the wall, real old ones which looked as thought they were from the 1970's.........I've got to stop at this moment which is sad but some idiot next to me in the libary is speaking so loud he's disturbing my process,............now he's getting all agressive and...........I really don't need this.........excuse me a while, I may be some time sorting this situation out.....
.....aahhhh now where was I? ah yes! It was one of the most memorable, and visual art-dream experiences I have ever had. Just recently this dream memory re-surfaced when this impression of a shoe emerged from my latest subconscious creative art paint blob process. So now seems as good a time as any to see if I can make this dream a reality........
At the very least, I have another story under the "creativity of dreams" to write up or perform, and let's be honest, I have absolutely nothing to lose. It may also help that I bought her husband CD years ago when he was the lead singer of Bush.......it going to be an interesting proposal to weave together.
Creative Proposal Strategy: Write up dream, explain background to proposal, and offer to design a new "Art Shoe" for one of her videos, explain the connection between Gwen's style, image, Art, Media and Creativity, and draw picture boards of the art space/events in the dream. Offer to direct one of her videos, and recreate the dream exactly. Best video of her career, artists get video art exposure, and new patron for art space/project. I get to express my creativity in a multi-dimensional way. No Doubt.
