Welcome!
This blog shares images from workshops facilitated by artist Norma Burrowes, including projects with other artists. Using UV light adds a sense of magic to the creative process and helps each participant create something - be it performed or visual - that they will remember & be proud of.
Also blogged are images of her own creative photographic work.
Enjoy & feel free to leave feedback.
Residency Response is well & truly Launched!
- View showing the space and the art - I still haven't captured thee pic of these very photogenic lights . . . yet!
- Two of the four canvases plus the collaborative photo-textile-wood pocket.
- Dan's Wall! From left to right diagonally taken by Dan (of Dandee Designs), other 2 corner images inspired by him.
- Me, hoping bubbles will calm butterflies and that people will come and maybe even enjoy the art!
- In the process of loading the digital projected sequence on-line, so hopefully a link will follow soon!
- Monday night - 22nd of February 2010 - a night I will remember!
- To put on a full show of work that only started out from the 5th of January, included 2 collaborations with people I've only met since then, included watercolour prints, canvas prints with digitally repeated images, textile & wood pocket pieces & a fully realized photo-animation projection with exclusive soundtrack created here in Karamea - and have the space prepared, lights sorted, everything hung, people informed of the launch night & exhibition - well . . . it's been a busy build up to Monday 22nd - not just for me!
- Thankfully there was a great turn out for the launch night and a great atmosphere was created. I've worked with digitally repeated images before but never shown them - the pockets were a new venture and I've shown some projected sequences before but nothing like the one I've created during this residency - all new.
- I'll ponder upon this more later but this residency has been a very unique & powerful experience. Possibly partly due to the number of residencies I had in 2009, so my work was already at a certain point. The big impact of this residency has been that art & life connection. And Monday night really sung that tune clearly - lots of hugs ensued!
- Very simply put, people here have had a big impact - they've inspired my art, and helped me get deeper into it - and I am very grateful for & delighted with the great turn out on Monday, the fantastic atmosphere & all the efforts behind the scenes before hand to ensure the work was up & looked it's best - THANK YOU!
