Drawing the Library

A community project using observational drawing and text to record a particular time and place, of the Sunshine Library in McCracken St.

The project is to make a series of observational drawings using the recycled papers found in the library as a base. The drawings will form a picture of Sunshine Library and the ways in which the community use the place. The concept is that by spending time drawing what you see in the library, you begin to notice other things, such as how people are using the place, how people interact with each other, what sort of things happen in the library and why people go there. As you draw, the other aspects, such as what you see around you, what you hear and your thoughts can be added to the picture by writing.

As the drawings are made, they will be blogged and at the end of the project they will be published into a book which will stay in the library, so you will be able to revisit them anytime you like. The drawings will also be made into a larger artwork in the library to celebrate the end of the project and the publishing of the book.

This project has been supported by the Brimbank City Council and Sunshine Art Spaces activation partnership funding.

lego club revisited and other scenes

I went to lego club again because I couldn't resist

It was just buzzing

things kept being made

builders and storytellers kept arriving ready to work

everything was photographed then taken apart and packed back away.

Toddler Storytime

Today it was toddler storytime which was noisy and happening!
I was joined at the drawing table by many children who borrowed my pencils for their colouring pages and I was also joined by Leah, one of the mums.
