Thelma and Louise File

  • Suzannah
    The 'Thelma and Louise' File, inspired by the photo taking in the famous film - throw the camera out to arms length, and just shoot. Framing, sizing...it's irrelevant. Its all about capturing the moment. Here's me, capturing the moment with special friends, near and far....

my new project!

I am really happy to announce my new project.

THE COLOUR BLOG

I have had this idea stewing in my mind for some time...I always lament that there are not many resources out there completely dedicated to everything about colour. Many discuss the history of colour, many look at colour theory, many look at colour in art and design....but not many combine it ALL into one place.

My hope is that, over time, I will be able to build something pretty special, as well as adding my own thoughts and occasionally artworks to keep it FUN.

As I enter this final year of study and start thinking about where I want to be when it's done, I keep coming back to the general idea of colour....somehow I want to work with colour.

Maybe designing fabric?
Maybe as a corporate colour expert?
Maybe working with manufacturers to create new colours?

Who knows, there really are so many opportunities. But when Ali talked about her word for 2008, I kept coming back to COLOUR and decided that, not only would colour be my word for this year, but it was time to really focus on it, and really establish how this word can become my life. That's when the concept of the blog came to me...it's a starting point, a place to crystalise my study, my thoughts. A beginning in developing an expertise that I can build my life around.

Words to Live By

  • WABI SABI
    ...the beauty of things impermanent and incomplete.... Wabi-Sabi is the release of control. It avoids beating up the creative soulo for not achieving perfection. Recognising and embracing our imperfections allows room for growth. The only result for demanding perfection is certain failure... prefection is a cruel boss. It leads to giving up, depression and anger rather than eagerness for growth and improvement. Living a Wabi-Sabi life means letting go of the stress of competition, relentless achievement, and replacing them with a willingness to let life find its own pace... In a Wabi-Sabi life, you recognise all things are impermanent, imperfect and incomplete. Once you open the door to imperfection, a creative force rushes into your life... We dont know what will happen tomorrow. Often we cant influence the future. What we think of as failure is simply a lack if knowing. You dont always have to know. And you dont always have to be in control. Take off that heavy obligation of knowing and controlling...then decide right now. In this moment. To live and grow, And leave perfection behind. - Quinn McDonald - Sommerset Studio March/April 2006
