14/08/08 Findings








Figurines.
It was very strange. Having set myself a day to rediscover objects (and stuck to it!) I was left feeling quite disturbed. Uprooting items that have been tucked away for years left me with an uneasy feeling. This task became a mammoth (tidying my room) session, in a room that has not been used as a bedroom, by me, for years. Many items have devalued emotionally whilst others have gained emotional significance.

I am more and more interested with the origins of these objects. Where were they produced? How did I come to own them?

Rhino Mania

Does my bum look big in this?! Here's a sneak preview of the rhino that I was commissioned to paint for Wild in Art's Rhino Mania. It will be part of a procession of rhino's that will be in Chester this summer. The event is organised by Chester Performs and you can find out more on the website www.rhinomania.co.uk. You can also join the facebook group for rhino mania to get updates of how the projects progressing. It's for a 2 really good causes for chester zoo and rhino conservation so your support would be briliant. If you're feeling flush you can even bid to buy one in September! My rhino is called 'The Wallower.' I'm looking forward to finding out who has sponsored her and where she will be placed. Images of the completed rhino to come so keep visiting my blog... www.rhinomania.co.uk http://www.rhinomania.co.uk/gallery/rhinos To see the final result and the steps I took to paint my rhino visit www.cargocollective.com/fionameakinillustrations
