I've been taking a bit of a break since then and tidying up, after the tornado of paper I trailed from room to room!! The weather is changing and re-evaluation is in the air. I find the "new year" starts in September for me, even though I've been out of school and out of the parent-of-a-school-girl phase for a long time - old habits die hard! I've really been drawn to fashion lately, I've gone to the library to borrow fashion magazines, looking for inspiration and images for my artwork. I love my printer/photocopier! I don't know if anyone of you remembers when the first colour copiers came into being, but I remember having a colour copy done at the library, of all places, for my first experience! It was weird, too, compared to today - more like an odd, shiny mimeograph (anyone remember those at school for the teachers to copy material for class?). I was asked why I have taken so long to put my ideas into this format of a shadowbox, and a great deal of it has to do with technology. I now have a digital camera that can take great macro images, I have the computer to immediately see my photographed images, I can alter them until I get it right, and print as many copies as I need to get the right size - a lot of control that I could never get easily from the neighbourhood copy centre.
Has new technology influenced your ability to create art in new ways?
