Smiley Happy Me
Ruth, who has organised the majority of the Headingley Residents Association's Virgin Media box work, invited me and the other artists to a one night exhibition to celebrate the work we'd all done. This project, although long, was super fun and a fantastic experience. I learnt so much from the process about live-painting in general, and about myself as a practitioner. Even on those cold, bitter, rainy winter days I was resilient in my box painting! Being able to meet Ruth and some of the others involved in the boxes has also been a great experience, and it's just genuinely been a lovely community project.
Photographs of our boxes were taken by a volunteer student, and printed out for the exhibition. We got to keep these after the show which I thought was a lovely gesture. It was nice to see everyone's smiley faces (and the photographer from Leeds unipol who took this photo told me mine was her favourite). All in all a super great night looking at a job well done.
