'I dream of home...'

The deadline is upon me and the final piece is starting to take shape. 

With all the letters that were kindly contributed I am making a visual piece, projecting stills of the letters. At the same time there will be a voice over of people reading out the letters that were contributed. 

Fingers crossed it all goes to plan, but for now, here are some of the stills I took today. 

'You, you on your own...'

So I collected all the letters from Milkwood Gallery today. I put them all in an envelope, went to Barker coffee with a friend and I sat and read them all.

I loved the individuality of each response; the variety of emotions was beautiful so I have deemed this stage of my little project a success!

Thank you to everyone who took part so far, and I will keep the blog updated with my journey from here onwards! 

'I just want our souls to be aligned...'

A sneak peak of the bureau at Milkwood Gallery, thank you to anyone who has taken part so far! 

'There is a map in my room on the wall of my room...'

I wish I had told you...

If you could tell that one person, the one thing you always wish you had, what would it be? Take back that moment. 

So I have just finished setting up my 'I wish I had told you...' interactive piece at Milkwood gallery in Roath and I am quite excited and nervous all in one. 

As of today people are invited to sit  and write a letter to whoever they like, starting with the sentence 'I wish I had told you...'.

A form of catharsis whilst at the same time aiming to rediscover the lost art of letter writing, turning the bureau into a post box full of secrets, moments and memories.

'And promise me this...'

I’m really feeling positive about this project now, and I feel like I may be getting somewhere with it, however I need letters!

If you would like to write a letter for my project please message me and I will forward you my address!

The letter can be as short or as long as you like, anonymous or not as long as it starts with the sentence ‘I wish I had told you…’

The letters will be used for my current project to create a final piece, so please do not send a letter if you are not happy with your letter being developed into a creative output.
