This lunch-time today I went along to the opening of an exhibition of work by a colleague of mine in the Unit 9 group. I was intrigued by the copy of a “manifesto” which she posted, together with a friend of hers. I reproduce it here with her permission, as I think that it gives us food for thought, even ‘tho I’m not sure that I agree with all of it.
An artists’ Manifesto
(Bev Morton and Jean McEwan)
This is serious play.
You are the expert on your own experience.
Work as you need to work.
Don’t over-think it.
Be intuitive.
Use what you are drawn to.
There is no right or wrong way.
It would be interesting to hear responses to their ideas.
