Journal Page Experiments

Journal Page Experiments
 

As an artist I sometimes find that “one” thing is not always enough. Enough, to express what I think, feel and want to say.

One thing could be writing some thoughts in a diary. Another one thing could be to draw or paint a picture. But if you combine these “one” things, you are bound to end up with the right thing. It is still debatable if the right thing should be called journaling. It intrigues me and I have now started a process to find out.

I hope you enjoy this journey with me.

All artwork made by myself. Paper, acrylic paint and Indian Ink.

 

 

 

Writing Poems

Creative Poem Writing 

It was a rainy old day in Auckland and my very talented and artistic 11 year old son said "what can we do mum?"

Not long before this, I read an article on the Susannah Conway blog that gave inspiration for writing poems by cutting random words from magazines.

Not really being in the mood for painting or drawing, we decided this will be a good challenge and started cutting out random words from magazines at hand. We could not find nice full page pictures to use as background for the poems. 

I remembered that I made some paintings with leftover paint a while ago (to be used as background for another collage painting or doodles). They ended up being the perfect background.  

The creativity started in all earnest.

Below you will find a collection of the poems we wrote.
