I finished drawing my imaginary figures with bamboo pens and bits of twig. There are loads of them, I haven’t counted – yet. I had to cut the paper into 3 pieces so that I could fit it all into a manageable tube to bring back on the train – a 16 hour journey via Eurostar. You can see the size of the paper next to the decking and chair. The train journey back was entertaining. It was fairly quiet from Doberlug-Kirch to Berlin but when we changed there for Cologne it seemed like THOUSANDS of English football fans travelled with us. They were very subdued after the Euros final, and very nice, no problems. We kept seeing the same faces all the way back to St. Pancras.
I was recently in Germany on an artist residency with four other Welsh women artists, Chris Bird-Jones, Sarah Hopkins , Rhiannon Rees and Rhian Haf. We have been supported by 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 were at the Atelier-Werenzhain, founded in 1996 by artists from East and West Germany, in a 14th century former feudal tavern estate.
