Culmore Hub
Title of Work: My Story
Arts Care Project Artist: Seliena Coyle
Art Form: Visual Arts - Printmaking - gelli printing, intaglio, gold leaf and cyanotype making
This year's Here & Now project asked participants to concentrate on their personal history told through chronological photographs. This proved a little challenging for some as they are more comfortable viewing themselves in terms of their role as granny, mother or sibling. It was lovely to see how, as the project evolved and photographs were shared they began to enjoy the challenge. We worked through several techniques to create imagery to frame the photographs, exploring gelli printing, intaglio, gold leaf and cyanotype making. The outcomes took the form of individual handmade concertina books, an artwork and legacy for subsequent generations.
Thank you to all the participants at Culmore Community Hub.
Here is a selection of the artwork produced.
