This is my reflective log of Curious Narratives, an artist-led,contemporary art project, supported by Arts Council funding, exploring the act of storytelling, looking at ideas around identity, iconography and the Self; responding to diverse contexts of art, literature, education and museum settings. The aim to develop a new body of work through a series of partnership interventions, including artist in residence, exhibitions and workshops, inspiring ideas through generosity of exchange, engaging new audiences and exploring creative possibilities.
Diverse creative works include an interactive museum of possibilities, 3-d mixed media dolls, textile books with text, artist’s books, bundles of found and given objects, photographs, diorama, sound installation, drawings, works for sale and performative interventions. Based in South-West UK, near Swindon, artist is available to share project process through talks, workshops and exhibitions.
Curious Narratives was inspired by and began with a journey to Italy, made possible through the Theresa Knowles Travel Bursary, awarded by the Royal West of England Academy for a textile embroidered storytelling book Dreaming & Stitching, and, as part of the prize, the offer of a residency/exhibition in the Feddon Gallery. The quest to Northern Italy over three weeks enabled research into the Sibyls, mythological storytellers, prophets and foretellers.
The aim of this log is to explore thoughts around my identity as artist, evaluate the project and share practice with others.
