Feb 7th, Egg drops and the quiet blue wall project

 I worked this morning, supporting a school visit to the university as an ambassador.  Yr 8's designed and tested egg drops.  So.. I took the rest of the afternoon to catch up with notes and research. 

Submitted my jpeg entry to A quiet blue wall.  This is a response to an open call on Instagram. I've submitted a digital submission which will be included in a social media campaign on instagram and the original 30cm x 30cm canvas will be posted to 'The Head Of A Pin' in Brighton. 

The overall exhibition is planned to be on display until 2030, and then it'll be archived. 

This is a collaborate social engagement project aimed at suicide prevention, instigated by Laura Mohapi and her research into suicide.  The context is around people coming together quietly to show the support that there is for anyone struggling with the world we live in because of its general pace, obsession with money and materialism, and /or because of mental health or neurodiversity -or a combination...

The blue and white pallet is a reference to the Picasso blue period.

I'm really chuffed to be involved in this because I absolutely agree with the preventative intention behind it. Chris R from last years level 4 has also got involved after seeing my insta post and I love seeing the project grow. 

I'd be interested in doing a project like this myself.  

Spoke to Liz Ankers who graduated Fine Art last year and runs a professional photography business - she said that she'll be the photographer for the degree show - without charge - so invited her to be an official sponsor. She's shared some images that we can use for promotion - which is just amazing and hugely appreciated - shared comms with the level 6's
