The Book of Journeys is a series of works that will be undertaken in 2013, both as solo projects and as a collaboration with my husband/creative partner, Dan. These multinational projects will examine physical and metaphysical journeys through mixed media, photography and installation. Five months, three continents, three series of work, one concept. We will begin in France where I will be working on an introspection of the creative process from initial ideas to final reality. Next is Saint Louis, Senegal where we will be working in conjunction with Waaw, exploring physical journeys and their meaning, and creating a final installation work at Gallerie Maam Thiouth. (The project proposal - the starting point of the wider conceptual project - is accesible on the "press" page.) Our final destination will be Istanbul where we look at spiritual journeys as we spend the month of Ramadan in a city that straddles the secular and Islamic worlds.
