When I was very young, I was interested in many textile crafts and enjoyed making things. At school, I was generally good at most subjects - my special favourites being art, maths and geography. By 'A' level age, I wanted to go to art college to study fashion and/or textiles BUT was not "permitted" to go. The only choice given was 'go to work' so got enticed by computers. Over the years these 2 diverse interests have prevailed and been very fortunate to work successfully in both fields.
However, for varied reasons that earlier ambition of being a full-time practising artist remained unfulfilled. BUT shortly after my birthday in 2011, I chose this new direction and although uncertain if it is 'the right way' to do it, it will be MY WAY and in MY TIME! Now assisted by an online "e-world", the record of this journey begins.
Periodically (as a means of reference, direction and/or interpretation), reference will be made to old notebooks, sketches and a series of 'textile collections' gathered over the years. Hopefully this will develop into a visual 'narrative' with additional 'notes' added as I travel along this delayed creative path. I'll be using a digital camera as well as a variety of computer and artistic skills to record what I see and show what artistic direction I'm taking. Coming across any 'detours' may mean going 'off track' but these I'm sure will not prevent this journey but only add to its enjoyment.
At each major step along the various 'exploration' routes, progress will be 'taken stock of' - transforming into a creative art form and consequently displayed at CiCi Creations. Naturally on such an 'adventure' as this, I don't know how long I'm going to take but don't forget ...
... like any other journey, I (or anyone else sharing this experience),
won't know whether it was enjoyable until I reach the end!
