The Invitation
____________

White Tile, Feather, Calligraphy Ink, Candle Holder.
This is what I refer to as Creative Zen, I always wonder what future use I can make of each single object I find that has had a previous life with someone in the Community. Days, months or even years later, the single perfect opportunity arises that brings several objects together for a single social art use.  The feather I found a few days ago, the ink two years ago, waiting to be used, and the candle holder a few months ago.  So I will write a few hand written invites with this collection of items.  Which means they are no longer separate objects discarded by life and nature; they have been recycled into a new living art process of creativity and community.


I have three weeks to do something with this, what would you do?  This is the largest and most impressive frame I've ever found.  For the first few days I felt intimidated just looking at it! I've never painted anything this large before, but somehow following my own process of creative Zen, I feel ready for it. The right frame at the right time, I walked past it for a month wondering whether it was too much for me, but then a strange coincidence happened which decided it for me. I guess I'm now in the right frame of mind.  Although, it's  It's taken me almost a week to decide where to hang it, let alone anything else.  Let's leave it for a while, and begin the real work.....
















First Night After Dark Installations With Found Objects

Scientists are like artists, and who in their right mind would think of locking up a bunch of creative minds in a University, or an institution?
