The Kildare Artist Notebook Project is ran by the Kildare Arts Office and it invites artists at all stages of their development to participate in the project. Artists are invited to fill a notebook in a creative way. Each notebook is then donated to Kildare County Council Arts Service to become part of a permanent touring collection. I am extremely excited to be part of this project, i am one of those artists who cares their notebook with them at all times, and i have always been that way since my early days in art college! So a chance to glimpse at other artists' notebook's always interests me because sometimes i feel that you learn more about an artist from their development work or rough idea's than their finished pieces.
Since i've had to hand over my notebook to the Arts Office, i decided i would document my notebook, I then made the photographs into a stop motion flipbook animation.
The offical opening of the Artist Notebook Project took place on Saturday 18th October by Dr Maebh O' Regan, in the ever impressive "Riverbank Arts Centre" in Newbridge. The exhibition is also part of the Kildare Literary Festival 2014.
