The Sojourner is a project devised by my teacher, Dawn Duncan-Smith, a textile artist in her own right who nurtures us with joy and positive confirmation as we take our own journeys through the textile art course at Box Hill Institute.
The Sojourner art pieces from my class will soon be installed at Epworth Eastern Hospital, in Box Hill. Each piece is our interpretation of 'The Sojourner', someone who stays momentarily, or for a brief while, before moving on. After the artworks have been at the hospital giving pleasure to staff, patients and visitors for one year, they will be taken to the Epworth Eastern Hospital Gala Ball at the Palladium, Crown Casino, Melbourne, where they will be sold in a silent auction. Moneys raised will go to the hospital, the artists will have pieces in private collections and everyone is a huge winner. What a fantastic project, and thanks to Dawn for thinking of it.
This is a progress photo of my piece. I haven't quite decided on a title yet. Meanwhile, I'll leave you wondering exactly what it might be.
I'd better get back to it!
