So in response to a small section in the latest CleanChange e-mailout, I have answered their question in exactly the 200 words allocated, and sent it in for a chance at winning a subsidised ticket, which would make the bursary stretch further leaving me comfortably less out-of -pocket!
We'll see.....
What Draws Me to Clean?
What I love about the experience of Clean is that I can draw my own picture that communicates everything I need to know, without the need to explain it or turn it into other people's words. As I am facilitated on my journey I feel ripples of movement, find things along the way that catch my imagination and enrich my understanding of me.
Creating my own pictures, I feel traces of my routes, my roots. I draw my own conclusions in my inner language: multidimensional metaphors.
Clean and noninvasive is the way I aspire to work.
As a practicing artist, facilitator and PhD researcher, Clean partners my intention to open a space where others may become aware of their own positioning, a unique relationship within the landscape of their environment (literally - with satellite tracking, pervasive media, participatory user-generated content; metaphorically - as a creative and potentially transformative opportunity for the individual and the community via re-presented reflections).
Clean also touches my former work with archetype, narratology and therapeutic processes of alternative reality journeying: imagery that allows a story to unfold, realisations to occur, easily arriving in a forward-looking place of cohesion and synthesis.
I am excited to learn more!
Lucky, yes! Just heard today that I was successful,
ReplyDelete'The quality of the entries was very high - and really inspiring and heart-warming - and the judges didn’t entirely agree on which were to be awarded the places, so decision-making hasn’t been simple, but you have a place - well done!' - great news.
