Fold Thoughts

I began work on Fold this week.

It is such an exciting project and it has taken me back into the work I did in Bury at wonderful Spurr House.

This first few weeks I have been rethinking the process of making work in the care homes. How will we do this without me being present?

Errol Francis from CutureBox and I agreed that I would send material via their boxes which go to all the care homes....So I have begun to look at an instruction sheet - mainly in pictures, about selecting some important and special objects.

I got out the treasured copy Mum gave me of 'Old Peter's Russian Fairy Tales' together with a photograph of Grammy on a bus in Spain and a few other bits and pieces... It took me back to the first moments at Spurr when I simply explained why I connected to these little objects...and showed some work I'd made about them. I'm hoping that telling this in simple phrases on the sheets will enable the care home 'dyads' to begin. Fingers crossed.  The first step its to note down words that the resident and carer share with the object...Here are mine!

    Finding Helena

    I began writing this blog to share the 'process' of making a new project that brought together the research, collaborations and issues as they arise in the making of a piece of work.
