It seems such a long time since I was working in the studio in the proper sense. Since mid-Summer my focus has been occupied with the flags and banners commission for the Out There Festival which took place in St. George's Park in Yarmouth in September and then on the Transitions Project which culminated in a November exhibition at the Exhibition Galleries in the Central Library in Yarmouth. Information about that project and all the works included in the exhibition have been uploaded to http://eastcoastnettransitions.wordpress.com/ and does not need repeating here.
But I thought I would post a few images of the flags and banners produced by local people. Ten larger banners were created by a small group of children with special needs attending two workshops at Caister High School, and thirty flags and forty pendants were created over three family workshops in surrounding villages. The theme was red, white and blue, and most of the flags and banners were created using collage, a technique which the particpants used with glorious boldness and invention, although it involved long hours of making good.
Thanks to Manuel Seixas for the photographs.
