Day 1 activity:
The morning was spent putting two coats of white gloss on the cabinet, its drawers and the back of the mirror. The smell got quite intense. Had two or three conversations with playgroup parents while this was going on. Kathy came in to take a photo. So did the local newspaper, the Ilford Recorder, to go with a story on the project in Thursday's edition. They plan to come back and take photos of the end product too. Margaret and Jean came to make tea. Rhoda, Jo and Maureen also looked in on what I was doing.
This evening the gloss was still too sticky to make a start on the photomontages and constructions that I have planned for the drawers of the cabinet. So, instead, I started work on the painting for the top of the cabinet. This is a version of a watercolour entitled Creation: Paying attention that will be in the Visual Dialogue exhibition. This version is in acrylics painted into the still drying white gloss.
I had a good conversation with a Kumon Maths parent and her children. They thought the project was a great idea and may come along to see the exhibition. A number of Kumon's staff also came to look at the project, expressed interest and contributed comments to the board. Peggy said she thought the painting was beautiful.
