Finally www.sarahlouisejay.co.uk is ready!!!! i will now be blogging on my new site so please come and visit me there..
I was lucky enough to be invited to a talk organised by Creativity Works, for the revisit project, which i was involved in last year. Adept, who worked with the sound archive at Clitheroe castle and Timorous Beasties worked with Blackburn museum archive, as part of the revisit programme. Both talks inspired me immensely! I have been an admirer of Timorous Beasties work for quite some time, so it was a real treat to hear how their career has progressed. Adept`s talk inspired me to get my own QR, to find out more about both projects visit here.
Here is sarahlouisejay.co.uk `s QR……..which is due to launch very soon so watch this space…..
I am so lucky to have moved into my new offices for my Arts for Health work…..so now i`m based in the central library, which has just been restored…..it was always a beautiful building but now the old and new have been married emphasizing the old features that i hadn`t even noticed! Here is a little look….
You may have seen some of my book installations on a previous post……which were all for an exhibition i`m doing with paperthreadjournal. We have an empty shop space, which has special childhood significance for my both of us…..here is a sneak preview…..
We were working away last night when a family who lived across the road from the shop, ran across the road to ask us what we were up to! They had been watching our progress wondering if it was a book shop! It`s nice to know the community a wondering…..!We are opening on Saturday so i`ll be posting lots more pictures……if you`re in the area and fancy coming to see us we are on Victoria Road East in the little village of Thornton in Lancashire.
A weekend in London always means a trip to my favourite ribbon shop, which never fails to fill me with inspiration…
