Passing By

Wow!!! What a day. So many people came by to visit & donate some of their precious & much loved fabric items. I was touched by their generousity & desire to openly share their stories. Thank you.

This amazing sky covered Gosford on Day 4, Thursday 21 June. It was incredible. The clouds stretched out as far as I could see. I wanted to float up into them.

Now that I've finally worked out how to download images from my new smart phone - here are a few pics of our residency shop 153/154 Imperial Shopping Centre, Gosford & how it's progressing - DAY 2.

Today was fantastic! Wendy, Kath, Janet and I spent time in the shop sorting out the space and chatting about aspects of our work and just getting to know a bit about each other.

We had some interesting people visit the shop which was a wonderful start to the first day. I'm encouraged by the curiousity and general interest people have expressed about what we're doing.

Keep coming in - as the days progress we'll have more and more to show. Don't forget to bring a fabric item/s for my project (Passing By) - anything made of fabric is fine. If there's a story connected to the item, I'd love to record that too. SHOP 153/154 IMPERIAL SHOPPING CENTRE, GOSFORD.

Hello to those checking out this site. A bit more info on Passing By.

There is a Facebook page now, although I cannot post anything due to a glitch in their system. Hopefully this will be rectified very soon. Check it out and like the page & spread the word to your networks - https://www.facebook.com/passingbyproject

I need your help to make this project successful.

I'm after any fabric items you have that you'd be happy to give me for use in this project. There are a few ways to get things to me. Have a look at this page for options. The clock is ticking, so have a look and get in touch.

I look forward to hearing from you.

I have officially been offered and have accepted one of four residency positions as part of the 2012 Gosford Artist Residency. A very exciting opportunity and a first for me. So, there's much to be done between now and when the final works are shown at the gallery on 21st July.

Check out the website and find out more about my project Passing By and log in to the blog to receive regular updates on what's happening and how the project is progressing.

I encourage those who live in the Gosford area to be part of this project. You can drop or send your fabric items and stories to Shop 153/154, the Imperial Shopping Centre, Gosford.

I look forward to meeting the people behind the fabric items and stories and seeing what treasures people have to offer.
