The Story of a Collaboration
The Story of a Collaboration Copyright Sarah T. and Lori B.
April 2014
An e-mail from two artists I deeply respect - Pauline Braun and Audrey Lute
Dear Sarah,
You are invited to participate in a unique and challenging art project. …take a leap of faith and join us in this adventure… try to maintain as much confidentiality as possible.
The following categories and adjectives have been selected for you by a random draw.
Technique - mixed media
Layout - based on a historic example
Text - collaborate with a writer or poet
Paper - pre-treated, crumpled , textured, pre-treated
Colour - primary
Image - none (i.e. no guidelines)
Adjectives: Complicated or confusing, sculptural, surreal, opposing or contrasting,
Wild card - Design an enclosure, box or container as an integral component of your project
When you complete your project please email us a maximum of 3 images, one image with a full view of the work and one or two detail views. Use jpeg files with a resolution of 300 dpi, image size approximately 10 x 15 cm and file size no greater than 1 MB. Please title each image file as follows: artist's last name_first initial_title_full view OR detail. Please include your full name and email address.
Deadline for images: no later than May 1, 2015
They listed their aims and this one made me smile:
· To encourage fellow artists to stretch themselves creatively and perhaps even to work outside their comfort zone. The wild card – an enclosure or box as an integral component.
This raises drops of perspiration on my brow. Quickly I discard shadow box and wicker comes to mind. Spruce roots perhaps. This is starting to feel like sculpture – sculptural is one of my project’s adjectives - way out of my comfort zone already. But something about this project intrigues me. I send my response: Count me in!
