Passion is infectious!
Atsuo Okamoto has got a "Forest" at the Chelsea College of Art parade ground - a stunning display of his stone carvings.
“Stone keeps huge memories inside, since the planet came into existence. I feel that stone is the most romantic and intellectual object on the earth.”I ran into him a few times at Chelsea foundry recently. He is happy to talk and he is curious. As a result, I have already been to Camberwell foundry with a few new ideas, that I feel so... hm... passionate about.
Eleanor Vonne Brown runs X Marks the Bökship, which is a publishing project space for independent publishers. She gave us a talk about publishing, editioning, projects, fairs, etc. I did not realize how much was out there!
Revolver Publishing
Print Matters Interest Group
Byam Shaw Library of Art
etc.
So refreshing to listen to somebody dripping with knowledge and joy about what they do! Bags of inspiration!
