Dear art friends,
This week I find myself fascinated with shape—wondering through spider webs, silver suits on tie guards, and candles woven like willow. I felt pause upon finding places drawn in thread and poking through pricked paper, like floating memories.
Catch up on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.
Art Prompt
Create entirely from memory. Produce new work with no references or reminders. Use only your memories to create anew—whether poetry, painting, sculpture, performance, lyricism, or illustration is your calling.
Wishing you inspiration,
Imi

Thanks Imi. I think we so often forget to create from memories and not just our memory.
As always these selections are all so inspiring and clever albeit maybe not the cat so much this week! He's very scary.
The recreations of physical 'home' in the different formats as the artist's memories I particularly like as I love detail and pencil and ink work and of late am also drawn to stitched paper artwork.
I am still practising my gel printing and loving the randomness of the results in all the different papers I am getting from which 'art' suddenly reveals itself to me!
A very nice group of pieces from these various artist
