Today was busy. But so rewarding.
I walked 18000 steps (my daily goal is between 2000-6000).
The best thing about my day was meeting up with the loveliest of people and an amazing Textiles artist/loomer extraordinaire.
They gave me tips and tricks to help me with my own art endeavours for some of the ideas I'll be working on during my residency at Yarra Sculpture Gallery in Abbotsford starting in January 2023.
I'm excited!

Patricia Watts, founder of ecoartspace.com, one of the wonderful eco-art networks I'm a member of, makes some very poignant comments in this interview with Bioneers. It reminded me of a grab I heard while editing a showreel of artist talks yesterday for Orana Arts, from fellow artist, passionate environmentalist, and fellow Regional Futures artist, Allison Reynolds.
Patricia: "It’s antithetical to be concerned about the hierarchy of the artworld when we need all hands on-deck. In fact, I go as far as to say that the work that you do should be replicable; that you should encourage those around you to also do similar work. A few years ago, I started making Action Guides that allow artists to perform other artists work as their own. Yes, sure it’s important to acknowledge those who have inspired your work and to consider how your work is different than work by other artists, but when we are trying to save the planet and humanity, I think we can let go of the idea of originality, especially in this day and time when imagery and information are so ubiquitous."

Allison: "The idea, for us to survive as a species, collaboration itself will probably mean subsuming of ego, and putting down and listening, and having to work with other people."
