‘LIKE’ Me – Carlos M Burgos
I reveal here the tea stained piece – ‘LIKE’ Me – (pencil, ballpoint pen, white ink and tea on paper) 28.5cm X 41.5cm.
Sarah Ives Taylor – Poem pieces and unintended connections
This is a fragment, a poem piece. I am hoping that I will write more poem-pieces in the near future, and that I will be able to connect them up into a whole. the kinds of tensions and apprehensions that reveal things smotes and dust that you said became like hares and horses, ...
Studio Session
This came out of an afternoon in April, filming The Isis as they rehearsed in studio. I’ve known the band for a couple of months, so wanted to catch a bit of what it feels like to be around them – their personalities, something of their creative process – and to do it with ...
Amy Abbott, who is wolf Alice?
I am still carrying on with the Connect project as part of my exchange with tARTs artist Rosemary Taylor. I was really imspired by Carlos.M.B’s Connect project in which he overlaps the characters and it started me thinking about having the idea of the wolf being apart of Alice, so I have been experimenting with this idea by ...
Drips and Drops of Tea – Carlos M Burgos
After going over the final outlines in red ballpoint pen the fun begins as I prepare the next stage by putting on the kettle and dropping a tea bag in to a cup. Time for a nice brew. This for me is fun but still requires a lot of concentration as I make certain decisions ...
‘Parturition’ and tentative steps – Sarah Ives Taylor
Hindsight, as they say, is a wonderful thing. I come to Fabelist a fledgling, and some way in to the Connect project; but here I present a poem that – I hope – starts me off in the right direction. I did not have the word or concept of connect, nor its verb form, to ...
Talking with myself, taking care of myself – Zoe Catherine Kendall
These five oil paintings are the result of an investigation into my own primitive states of mind and difficult early childhood emotions for the connect project. The inspiration for this project came from a piece of work I was doing with a psychoanalyst in order to better understand, cope and deal with some reoccurring psychological ...
Double Vision? – Carlos M Burgos
Usually while I’m working on a piece I already have a title for it or at least a working title. I feel it helps keep me focused on the main concept I want to express while the piece develops and changes. This time is no different as I found myself giving it a title that ...
Thumbs Up – Carlos M Burgos
It’s been a while since my last post regarding the ‘Connect’ project. Silent maybe but definitely not inactive. I’ve been somewhat interrupted but busy working and developing my piece so I’ll try and bring it all up to date in the next few posts. My last post explored my rambling thoughts and research regarding ...
Amy Abbott-Final Image for Connect.
My sketchbook has been an amazing tool for reflection. I understood the importance of a sketchbook and found them useful especially to keep some kind of order within a project but previously I found using a sketchbook really hard due to the nature and size in which i work. I always compared the neatness and care that most ...
Connecting The Dots: the influence – Rachelle Allen-Sherwood
It’s been awhile since I last posted and as I’m still caught up in the throes of a stirred-up-hornets-nest-of-a life at the moment , today’s post will be brief. I’d just wanted to share with you an example of how my ‘Connect The Dots’ project has seeped into my own work…. Most of my work is made with ink although I do use other materials such as emulsion paint, spray paint, graphite, ball ...
Tradition, Tales and Taboo II
In my last post I introduced what had been a radical change in my method of working- articulating both my own feelings and wider public concerns surrounding the body, femininity, psychosis and the ‘messy parts’ of life through drawings and pastel compositions. I had ‘connected’ with a tradition of ritual, archetypes, symbols, stories and folklore ...
