As the co-ordinator of A Letter a week I am feeling particualry bad that I haven't managed to undertake my second alphabet for the year. And this week, I just decided to forgive myself and let it go, and say it just didn't happen. So I apologise for letting the side down.
As an explanation, I have been rather busy (as many of us are I know) and one thing that has been taking an inordinate amount of time since February has been the pulling together of the
A Letter a Week - artistic journeys through the alphabet exhibition - at the Butter Factory Arts Centre in Cooroy.
Here is a link to my blog post from the opening and I have included some more photos below.
Since the beginning of ALAW I have hoped and dreamed it might be possible to pull together some of the works for an exhibition. This exhibition opportunity appeared, and I sought a collection of finished pieces from 2010, 2011 and 2012.
In the end we had 63 works by 29 artists from 6 countries in the exhibition, which was pretty representative of ALAW contributions over the first few years.
It was very special to see the works in person, and in some instances hold them.
So apart from my other bibs and bobs I was focused on ALAW quite a lot; just not doing it!
And thirdly, here are the options…
I have set up a blog for next year, in the hope that some folk might want to continue, or some new folk might want to join in. The exhibition has brought a lot of new interest so that could be interesting!
Here is a link to the new blog so far; so if you would like to continue or know somebody who might like to join, please send me an email and I'll get you onboard for the new year.
I will continue to pursue exhibition opportunities. The works on display have been so well received, people really enjoy seeing the creativity people have applied to the alphabet.
Thanks and go well
Fiona
