The tree of hope and aspirations

This is the first creative task we have asked the girls to take part in…to produce something made of origami and to attach a description of something they hope to or aspire to be in the future….It will stay as a permanent feature in our college studio!

Another Cartier-Bresson image taken in Pondicherry, India…possibly my favourite!?….

Henri Cartier-Bresson, 1950

Whilst planning a research trip up to Pondicherry, I discovered that Cartier-Bresson came to Pondicherry in 1950.

Adjusting the body clock….’Insomnia’

The S.U.P/S.A.R.C.W residency program- was designed as a cutting edge experiential insight, to communicate the value of visual language and collaboration through arts practice in international communities.

 For a period of five months, SUP will support two female artists at the Sultana Abdhulah Rowther College for Women, in the Muslim community of Melapanangattangudi in Tamil Nadu, India. Artists will engage in the research of their art practice to develop a body of new work for exhibition, both in India and the UK. Artists are also responsible for supervising arts educational workshops for the students at the college within the provincial community.

‘Home’ for the next five months…Koothanallur, Tamil Nadu
