Hey Girls!
I came across some artwork from
a past group exhibition by some awesome female artists called Fibre
Femmes. It was an all female "stencil artist" show in Melbourne,
Australia. They all make public art pieces of different subject matters
and styles but I thought it was really inspiring that there work is out
on the streets for everyone to see! I thought it was really interesting
to see the final product, but also to think about the process each of
the artists took to get there. One artist in particular, called Fresh
Chop, uses photographs and pastes them onto different textures like
walls or concrete spaces on the streets. In an excerpt from an interview
she mentions how great it was to work with such a unique group of women
who have all different styles but are working in a similar way. It
reminded me of you all at GEV. Check it out!

What I like about
this picture is just how it’s such a basic thing, but it can become so
interesting. Its like, no one really knows what “79 #1 Buzz” means, but it just
looks interesting. I love the look of old, worn down schools, so this chair
really caught my eye. It may seem silly to a lot of people that I am interested
in a chair, but that’s just me!!! =)
Poem by Crystal
As a part of our map of Ware we'll be writing poems along this format. Here is an example from Crystal
I come from Berkshire County
Where children are chained to their families, and escape is
sweet and seldom.
I escape only to be pulled “home”
I believe in doing more than dreaming
Because you have to jump, scared or not, to get anywhere but
stuck.
I escape to dream some more.
