This year there will be cardboard construction fun outside on the Carclew lawns. Out of the Cot are kindly saving all their big boxes and makedo have given us a box of their great connector clips so we can make a massive cubby castle together - kids and their adults are all welcome to add to this growing artwork.
The makedo clips arrived in the post this morning and Claire has been testing them all day. Check out all the stuff you can do with them on the website www.makedo.com - I'm looking forward to having a go myself!
What inspired you to make this work?
Desserts, dreams, emotions and colour!
Did it turn out how you imagined?
The artworks always seem to end up a little bit different to how you first imagined them to be, as you go through quite a journey while you are creating them.
How did you get started as an artist/designer?
I've liked all things creative since I was a young one. My studies in graphic design helped further expose me to the creative and design world.
Is there reoccurring theme in the art you make?
Yes, food, togetherness and love.
You can check out some of Michelle's work at www.michelleleeart.com - or come to Ms Doody's on the 10th!
Annalise Rees has been invited to exhibit because she creates fascinating cardboard sculptures – these will be displayed next to our interactive everybody play sculpture.
Check out her work at www.annaliserees.com and on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CG8i36eB-gg
Could you give us a hint as to what you will be exhibiting in the show?
Starts with a "P"
What inspired you to make this work?
I find that the most inspiring thing is boredom. If I am bored, I become inspired. The trick is to distance yourself from things that keep you stimulated. Then your mind will become inspired just out of desperation to not be bored anymore.
Did it turn out how you imagined?
I'm still imagining it.
How did you get started as an artist/designer?
My mum bought me colour pencils.
Is there reoccurring theme in the art you make?
Silliness.
How do you know when your artwork is finished?
If you listen very carefully, when you finish a painting you can hear a very faint "ding!".
Hi everyone
we're nearly set – the artists lineup has been finalised and it's less than a month til opening night, so save the date Friday 10 December!
Stay tuned as we bring you some artist profiles so you can have a sneek peak at who's in this year and what they might be showing us.
See you soon,
Ms D
Hey Kids!
here are a few snaps of the work at Carclew before the punters came streaming in on opening night. It was a great night and we'll be back next year to do it all again!
Ms D
Hi there!I have been a little quiet on the blog lately due to my arty travels but just thought I'd pop in a note to say that tonight's the night! My second lovely exhibition will open 6pm this evening at Carclew and I hope to see you all there for some wine, nibbles and art appreciation. If you can't make it to the opening, I'll be putting some photos up here in the next few days so you don't miss out.Ta ta for now,Ms D.
