Journal Project

Dear eO members,

As mentioned in a previous post, eO will be organising a project in conjunction with the Big Draw for 2007. There has been much interest in the idea of posting or personally delivering a hard copy journal from artist to artist. Each page of the journal will contain a contribution of a drawing or several drawings from each artist. This project is to begin in September and continue through to October. I will send an email with the full details to all those who have expressed interest, so if you would still like to be involved and haven't let us know yet, please reply to this post or send us an email.

More soon...

I Recall

Now that he had started her remembering, recollections
– like flotsam on a river in sudden spate – came dancing,
gliding, bobbing and bumping across her reluctant mind.

Fanny by Gaslight, Michael Sadleir 1940


Sharyn has been questioning memory and recollection
for several years, since a statement from a family
member led to emotional and physical estrangement.

“Remembering seems to be a process of selection
and using that selection to move forward, positively
or negatively. What I remember, subconsciously or
not, reflects my personality and shapes my life.
Or maybe my personality dictates what I choose to
remember.”

In this exhibition I Recall, she explores her
childhood memories and recent recollections
and has created Art Objects recalling A Dream,
A Face and A Fragmented Memory Collection.
