Rebirth?





In September this year I was invited by Charlie Jeffery and the Pistoletto Foundation to make a new work in response to the theme of 'rebirth'.   31 artists were invited to make an image on this theme for a group exhibition entitled "1:1" opening in Slovenia next week.  Each work will be presented as a poster, containing the word 'rebirth'.  See these links below for further details.

Playground on Fire at the Old Fire Station, September 14th

On Saturday September 14th Sheepwoman had the pleasure of meeting a real life size Mexican Doll, during a day of performances, talks, concerts, open studios and installations throughout the Old Fire Station, Oxford. 



The Mexican Doll is the work of Veronica Cordova from Mexico City, she is currently undertaking a Phd at Oxford Brookes University.  Here the two are seen together happily watching Sheepwoman's film "There is a Monster in the attic".   The day was organised by the Playground Team who organise monthly artist platform events in the attic of this recently renovated building.  See http://www.theplayground.org.uk for more details.



Earlier Sheepwoman was seen reading James Hillman's book "Pan and the Nightmare".  The Oxford Improvisors performed at various points throughout the day also in collaboration with the dancer Macarena Ortuzar.  See labels for more details.





Sheepwoman's film could be seen throughout the day in the dance studio.
