first contact with class

Hurray meeting accomplished with Tony and the class, sound all working – with strange delay and so I could hear a Minnie Mouse version of my voice echoing around the classroom.

I had close screen contact with Luke, Louis, Emer and Darragh, who asked what my favourite medium is and who my favourite artist is – hard questions for an artist- I answered with an image from the scientist, Mandelbrot and with paper finger extensions – the class showed me their magnificent Teepee and fabulous works around the classroom… including a mesolithic cave, one of the kids went in and I expected them to emerge in animal skins, but unfortunately the time machine wasn’t switched on today. I showed them my studio and my diamonds…We are meeting for a work session of Friday where we will exchange ideas about Cave Hill and diamonds…

Cave Hill Diamonds

Cave Hill Diamond?
Cave Hill Diamond?

Well in December

testing testing

During the Kids’ Own Meeting at the Welly Tony and I exchanged ideas

Tony talked about about Cave Hill – the place and the imagination and C.S. Lewis

I talked about diamonds, geometry and fractals through the screen

So Cave Hill Diamonds is the starting point for us

From Tony’s classroom will come ideas and images from Cave Hill and from my studio will come ideas from my work in progress two worlds will open up and take us to others……
