our group working together recently may have named ourselves the spiders..! we’ve been talking a lot about each of our individual knowledges creating a web of sorts – and translating this into the space we want to create for our exhibition at Kunstpodium T next year.

as we talk and eat i learn so much and am left feeling highly inspired again,.. leading me to create this blog ^^.

i’ve been struggling to write, and create out of a place of passion – leaving a space of “i have to” that i think almost naturally comes after graduating, at least from what i’ve gathered in the pool of art students. i learned a few things in myself as a maker who wants to make this their career. like the fact that there are so many ways to be in the field. whether that means your art giving you an income, or something completely different.

within the spiders, we’ve shared our current emotional states, if we’ve made anything recently and how we want to continue our collaboration. of course this came after knowing each other a bit more and spending more time together, but for me this really helped in setting the tone of how to create.

every time we meet, we have come to meet in a different city that one is based in, and have a program by them. it was time for rotterdam!!

here some cute pictures of the day,,,

the spark walk – basically a walk around anywhere you choose but with a certain intention. i like to bring my camera, a notebook and pocket or box of sorts (to collect things i find). on my walks i often look for shapes, compositions, light(ing), color that i find intriguing and will take pictures. sometimes i will also sit somewhere and gaze at my surroundings and write down keywords of what i see – this at times is food for writing / writing poetry.
