Welcome from the Whisperers

Welcome from the whisperers... The artists of the Whisper Collaboration invite you to share our journey. Twelve artists, each begining with a theme, will carry out a visual game of "Chinese Whispers". Our book pages will travel between us, each collaborator adding their own interpretation of the theme. The trick will be that only the originating artist will know what the theme is! It's up to the rest of us to decipher that theme only from the work of the previous artist and the set of 'page clues' that will grow as the collaboration progresses! Here on our blog, we will share images of the clues, and perhaps some other tantalising snippets of information...all adding to the intrigue. Join us, and see if you can guess each artists theme as the books progress!

Tamara's Whisper

Its Febuary's end but my pages are in the mail making their way to Tracey. I'm uncertain of how I feel about my page. There are elements that speak to me but its a representation of the theme using images I don't usually have an affinity for. The process was very organic. I allowed the page to unfold itself without trying to sway it more to my ingrained likes. A big part of my stuggle has been the departure from my comfort zone with colour choice. It's more muted than I normally lean towards but once again it works for the purpose of the imagery. Maybe in time it will grow on me. Looking forward to your response to it Tracey. I wonder what it will say to your minds eye.

Cheers Tamara

You are so able to be adventurous in your art Tamara, I applaud you for this!
I wonder what your theme is....? certainly sounds very interesting....I have quite a while to wait and see, and who knows what it will be saying to my minds eye by the time it has passed through eight other artists hands!
