Strange Twig People.

I continued drawing with twigs and ink across my huge sheet of paper, gradually filling it with strange, twisted twig people. These are coming from my imagination now, I’m not thinking them into existence. I scribbled into some of them with the thin end of a bamboo dip pen, while the ink was still wet.

I’m in Germany on an artist residency with four other Welsh women artists, Chris Bird-Jones, Sarah Hopkins  and Rhiannon Rees  with support from Wales Arts International. We are all members of AGOR Abertawe, set up to facilitate creative activity between women artists in Swansea / South Wales, and the Brandenburg area. We’re at the Atelier-Werenzhain, founded in 1996 by artists from East and West Germany, in a 14th century former feudal tavern estate.
