It's been a while since I updated my blog - but it's certainly not through lack of artistic activity! I finished the min-residency with Lord Grey school, which produced fantastic results, with the group painting their photographic collages using all sorts if implements other than paint brushes. We used cotton wool balls to paint stone effects, sponges to create gravel and concrete, and plastic cutlery to drag through wet paint to make the grooves in tree bark. The group found the absence of brushes challenging at first, because it was so against their natural instincts and what they had always been taught to do, but after a while they embraced the alternative techniques. After they had done their paintings they tore them up into collages - and demonstrated excellent teamwork skills in the process.
