Did you know my Mum, Lorraine Marwood, is AMAZING? Although amazingness does take an awful lot of time (like anything amazing does) - her career as a writer had to wait for her six children to grow (and go away!).
I am thankful that we both made some time in our live to contribute to Co.Lab - Words and Art on as apart of the 2013 Bendigo Writers Festival.
The collaborative challenge, not unlike Amending, was to respond to the writers work - in this case Mum's poem "A Grassy Slope"
A
Grassy slope
Two brothers,
begin at top, toddler sister still struggling
to climb; then spinning , legs in scissor
motion
tumbling down, crushing tufts,
sky and ground mosaic shards
till wham, a brother rolls
that toddler sister like rolling pin
to pudgy biscuit dough.
to pudgy biscuit dough.
This work is made up of four A3 panels which I water coloured, stitched and stuck - good fund and hours of making - I listened to a really great, yet trashy mp3 book while I worked -The White Queen byPhilippa Gregory.
This greeness is a treat, by Jean Jullien, I found on pinterest - the next step for my stitching on paper is to get some movement happening in that line work.
