Storybooth
Collaborative drawing installaion (2013)
Storybooth is a collaboration between a collective of artists and illustrators and members of the public at the Parlour Showrooms. I worked with artists Emma Powell, Micheal Powell (aka The Cloud Gallery), Philippa Thomas, Gill Chantler, Debbie Hard, and Jonathan Farr. Participants were invited to donate their dreams so that they could be interpreted and bought to life by one of the artists and hung in a installation with other people’s dreams.

Storybooth
The idea for an illustration event is emerging.
It a space where illustration becomes a collective process, and a way of making and documenting stories from many into one, where the process of illustration is public, it is shared. Illustrators create dreams, visualise ideas, make worlds, and I want to create a space where the this can be seen, and is happening in realtime. I am imagining a kind of live, public Exquisite Corpse game, with words and pictures.
I’ve called it Storybooth (for now) because it is a kind of “booth” where stories are made.
