Spark...art from writing: writing from art

I'm involved with this project and I am enjoying working on my pieces, a writing response and an art response. The two inspiration pieces have sent me in a different direction to normal, some unexpected ideas.

I love unusual projects, slanted ways of looking at stuff. If a challenge or theme is given to me I always get enthusiastic and also distracted from other things because I really have to work on the new idea straight away.

If I decide I haven't seen someone in a while and I want to show them I care I think, for example, why don't I draw them a picture of a song thrush and mount it on a leaf from an antique book about music and then I put aside all other things to get on with the creative task until I have exhausted the urge and it is completed.

This is why this Spark project appealed to me and why I am now distracted. Again.



SPARK is a creativity event in which artists, writers, and musicians from around the world use each other's work to inspire new work of their own.
