my story|coconut in her hand
Posted on December 1, 2010 5 Comments
My friend, H, is always giving me these lovely notebooks. I can never resist them and usually end up writing or drawing in them immediately, before even finishing the previous few notebooks/sketchbooks I’d already begun. My usual problem is that these books must be themed one way or another. So for this one, my solution was to begin a story and watch it unravel as my days unwind. I think I’m going to enjoy this book. The story is called Coconut in Her Hand.

this is the right-most panel of my new painting, eve's letter from eve, a triptych
I finally got around to resuming work for my next exhibition at the Gallery Tilal. Needless to say, after a short hiatus following my PrettyGreenBullet Exhibition, I was hungry to paint, collage and play again. I have high hopes for this three-panelled piece, although I’m still not at that point where I’m confident about it. Read More

the public library i share with my neighbors
I’ve started on a new project involving lots and lots of paper. As you know, I get quite distracted when embarking on a new experiment and I start thinking about things like architecture and insects. Paper is a wonderful thing, and often I like to shrink myself to the size of my thumb and pretend I live in a wonderful world where pristine beaches and public libraries are compulsory. Read More

the overtaking of a peloton of angels early on a wednesday morning, 2010, collage on fabric, 50 x 50cm
After seeing my mini-collection, The Stories of Eves, a dear, dear friend of mine asked me to create a special collage for him depicting a cyclist on a cobblestone road. I thought, how can I make a cyclist on a cobblestone road more romantic than a simple road bike on a dirty street? So I used a lovely pear fabric my mother gave me years ago, and added a few of my angels. Read More

sharoofa taking a break from her many doodles. her friend, hussa took this picture so technically these are not all her photos!
I think this is the last of the PGB exhibition photos. I don’t think I saw anyone else taking photos. Time to move on. Thanks, Sharoofa, for taking part of this experience and sharing your photos. It was fun, wasn’t it. Read More
