Happy new year!


First finish of 2018, first blog post in many moons, who knows, it could be the start of something new!

On Monday, after a bit of rambling (lol), I told you about the thought process behind the learning tool for the Black Women's Collective.



A group of women sitting in a living room, discussing how to save the world.

Earlier this year, Freedom School (an initiative of Black Lives Matter), commissioned me to make learning tools for their school again. 





I don't know whether I want to talk about "process" here, or PROCESS. lol By which I mean, the process by which I made this piece, or the processing I've been doing while making it.

As I said in my last post (and a couple of other posts, I think);  I've had some rather rebellious rumblings in the pot along the line of "what will you do with all of these 'really cool' fabrics and papers you're making? Are these just for the fun of it? If so, perhaps you should move on to more useful things!"

It's been a bit of a question for quite some time really.

Ever since I started experimenting with watercolour on fabric and paper (henceforward "fibers"), and kept producing these "Oh cool!" and "Oh, that's really beautiful!" fibers; but immediately upon the heels of doing so, I wondered "are these art in themselves, or do I need to incorporate them into art".
