Lulu - 9-Women

Womankind are in themselves chameleons and this series touches on a few of the great variety of different qualities present in womankind:

Beautiful ~ Empathetic ~Adaptable ~ Versatile ~ Crazy ~ Loving ~Diverse ~ Multi-taskers ~ Nurturers ~ Supportive ~Adventurous ~ Funny ~ Creative ~ Role Models ~ Formidable ~ Wild ~ Colourful ~ Stylish, to name but a few qualities.

I refer my works  to as papiermaché-mosaics, made from, yes you guessed it, papiermaché and using re-cycled anything that seems appropriate to illustrate the picture. In the 9-Women series and (now that I think about it), in other works too, there are re-occurring objects used for decoration, for example the shells, flowers and mirror.

The Sketchbook Project 2011

 

The Sketchbook Project Tour 2011
'Face in the Crowd' by Alison Day Designs

It’s like a concert tour… but with sketchbooks 

Starting in Brooklyn NY in February 2011, 10,000 sketchbooks take to the 

road and travel around the USA for a period of five months visiting a total 

of 8 states, stopping at various galleries and museums for public viewing.

I received my moleskin in May this year, with the idea that I fill it however I want according to a theme chosen from a long list thought up by Art House Co-op  - 'Face in the Crowd' appealed. Now in September I'm pretty much finished, just last minute touches and I want to scan it in for my records.

Shortly, I will be sending off my completed moleskin to New York, USA to join the throng of other sketchbooks for the 2011 tour around the United States. The books can be seen and borrowed (like a library book) in various pre-selected galleries and museums before finally ending up in the Brooklyn Art Library for posterity.

UPDATE: July 24, 2012

The finished sketchbook 'Face in the crowd,' can also be seen here: Behance account.
