What is the story?

An exciting participatory arts project created by twelve nominated students from Matravers School, Westbury & Jill Carter, Social Engagement Artist. Exploring the theme of identity, the lads directed and undertook a series of performative journeys. Using a collection of found objects (toys), they set out to explore a world of work & play, responding to folk, everyday situations and environments along the way. The hugely creative process was documented with photography, film, drawings, dialogue & journals. There was potential to unearth, stories to unfold and dreams of a large rabbit, clown and group of black sheep ... finding their way, discovering new friends, standing out from the crowd, and truly becoming somebody!

Eyeball down the wall

How best to share the story.  We were offered an amazing opportunity to exhibit the project at at NT space, is this appropriate, feasible, workable.  Will this happen who knows?  Mrs L, has been a star. Keeping everything going, at end of the term, madness time.  All this stuff can never happen unless someone has vision.  Bev has made it all possible, and without that special sort of person, crazy creative stuff can never happen to the max.  Finally, found how to load audio files & make a book out of the blog. Phew. There needed to be more time at the end of the project to make work. Double madness.  Keeping an eye on everything is an art in itself.  Talking of which...


FOUND ONE EYEBALL SCENE, at last, discovered one of the missing pictures - who took this eyeball sliding down the wall pic?  Very Damien Hirst stuff, talking of which went to the Saatchi Gallery at the weekend, they have an educational project space, which offers an annual competition of ten grand, the students are already dividing the spoil, whilst some of us are planning long get away from it all experiences.  Thoughts, possible ways forward, the end of just the beginning, simples.
