On Saturday morning as a warm up and to set the scene, we wrote lists of our favorite things that made us happy.
Outside breakfast, cups of tea in china tea cups, swings, standing under trees and looking up through their leaves, standing on top of mountains, crunchy doonas, dark rain. (Jessie)
Singing sunshine of your love badly while driving, roasted pumpkin and fetta sandwhich at Salamanca Arts centre, David, Daniella and James, having meals and chatter with Nikki, hazelnut meringue, cat. (Sarah)
Juicy pears, the smooth crispness of unused paper, clean sheets, sleeping in, reading books while walking through the city, typing on typewriter in public places, the rain in any form, hugs especially when they are real and loving, new stockings, revelations. (Chay-Ya)
To come (Wening)

Chay-Ya rang Lucy to exchange audible dialogue about how the project was going and feeding back from the day before. At time of the conversation neither Chay-Ya or Lucy were accompanied by other participants, and so were technically groupless but still held inside the gravitational embrace of the project as a whole.

Stir fried paper
A day spent inside, sheltering from the rain, hand stitching the folded paper of concertina's into a hard cover.
The preparations for drawing took most of our time, warming our bodies up, stretching and drinking cups of tea while we cut and folded, stuck and sewed. Once our books were ready we began drawing the ingredients that would later become our lunch, spending plenty of time connecting with what we were drawing (curiously people noticed that they were hyper aware of the smell the particular thing they were drawing, emanated).
At the end we arranged our books together into a stir fry of paper, noting that as a whole it was far more interesting being the sum of everyone's drawings and not just a singular persons work.
Thankyou to Jessie Pangas and Wining Cheah for participating in the first Gravity workshop, look forward to have many more of you in coming installments!

A weekend of workshops
over the Saturday and Sunday, 29th and 30th of March
with Chay-Ya Clancy, visiting artist from Melbourne (see her work here).
An opportunity to develop and challenge your own realities and creative practises whilst making sense of the cloud of technology above our heads as at tool for networking and creative exchange.
The weekend's workshops with Chay-Ya will focus on developing your own creative language through an exploration in drawing, writing, movement and speech.
Experience the familiar and ordinary with a different perspective.
We will look at ways to create a positive energised arts practice and moving ideas into actions. Creating for yourself and using documentation to share and exchange dialogue with other artists both here and faraway.
Stretch out, learn some new things and lay courses for dreaming. Hope to see you there.
