Once the group was formed, many ideas were generated through brainstorming sessions. Keeping into consideration, the local area of the gallery, Christianna and I came up with quite a few good ideas and dismissed others for several differing reasons. These were some of the ideas I suggested:
- Land Art – (not practical as permission would need to be required from the council).
- Looking at TIME, Past & Present – Sourcing images/photos from the local area going back many years. (Worries of cost escalating).
- Words, Phrases, Comments, Text – Using familiar/unfamiliar languages creating a narrative or several narratives. Christianna liked this idea and suggested we could use a roll of fabric that could be rolled up and down by the viewer reading the text.
- Sourcing fabric from different cultures within this area (Wentworth Street) and utilising it somehow within a piece or pieces of art – This links with Christianna’s idea for a Union Jack suggestion.
