Come and be involved with a truly global, communal and collaborative project!
I am devising an installation that will use elements from the Sundance Ceremony of the Native North Americans.
Taking inspiration from the idea of prayer bundles, central to this ceremony, as well as Tibetan prayer flags, both of which are used by the cultures to pray for the well-being of their communities. I plan to ask people from all walks of life and every country to get involved by making their own personal prayer flag.
The idea is that it can be decorated in any way, with a message or a picture containing some pearl of wisdom or even a prayer. They can be sewn, printed, painted or whatever takes your fancy.
So spread the word lets see how far afield we can involve people with this project!
Please use a square piece of fabric, roughly measuring eight inches by eight inches. Use any scrap of fabric, maybe even from an old shirt or pair of trousers! Let’s be environmentally aware and green about it.
Once you have completed the pieces of fabric and sent them to me, I will incorporate them into a mural based on a ‘Tree of Life’.
The idea is to make this a truly global piece of work. Once you have finished it please send it to the address below:
