Family Fables
I will be working in the Artspace creating a book of personal family stories, the images for which will be printed into a large old bound sample book. Using print and paint, stencils, collage and lettracet, I will layer text and images together, creating new stories from half-remembered family tales and inspired by old photographs.
Gallery visitors are invited to tell and create their own stories based on memories (everyone’s experience of family is different; who you consider as ‘family’ may not be only people with blood-ties) or from the imagination. Stories will become pictures by combining words and images using simple cut-out stencils, collage, lettracet and paint.
Visitors can drop-in and family story or stay all day, making series of artworks if they wish.
Here are some words to start a story:
disguise; giggles; belonging; shivers; delicious.
