The Loom - a journey.
A photography, art, sculpture and text project looking at the journey of family generations, cultural heritage and personal stories. It will itself be a journey from the past into the future, mapping the present day with an eye on tomorrow. The project explores how the past has influensed us and what the participants imagine may be their future. It will develop understanding and dialogue facilitating each participant with new skills and creative means to express their histories and visions.
Participants possible age range: 9 - 99 years
Background/ Theme: The subject was envisaged out of an interest in understanding that our perspective and position in time is not singular but collective and that the now is perhaps only a step in a long journey and if so our direction is determined by what?
Conceived originally as a schools project, 'the Loom' could work well also with a far wider age group, which infact would in many ways, I think, enrich the project considering the subject. The possiblities of this project still excit me and I very much hope to see it realised some day. Like many of the education/ workshop projects I have developed, although the general form - structure of the resulting installation is envisaged the actual elements, contents and eventual emphsis is only realised in and through the participants own work.
