Bribie Show - SIMULATION
That really is me, by the way, (not a simulation!!!) discussing something with the gifted teacher of the wood craft group.(b.t.w. I'm the one in long trousers! )
NOTE: the painting which we appear to be discussing, (Papuan Dancers) wasn't actually there!
Having now a reasonably good photo of the space we will be using next March for the exhibition, I couldn't resist 'hanging' a few of the images we will be using in the Show, using the amazing VISUALISATION tools we have at our disposal these days. In particular Photoshop Elements combined with a digital camera.
Problem is, I've 'clean forgot' about breakfast, shower, tablets and the general discomfort of being 'perched' on my swivel chair - being so totally focused on this absorbing task for the past couple of hours!
But now, 'job done' I've suddenly realised how hungry I'm feeling.
My soul echoes the "I'M GLAD I DID ART!" exclamation of Tom Hudson our Director of Studies - in a moment of creative ecstasy while working on a public art commission using new Acrylic Resin processes in a collaboration with Terry Setch at Leicester College of Art & Design in 1963.
I was there in the room with them (it was a Saturday morning), and I think I learned much from that spontaneous, existential MOMENT. I trust I have been able to pass on something of that same unfeigned enthusiasm - I certainly still continue to experience it as strongly as I ever did as a younger person.
