Under the Umbrella of the Soul

Our latest installation piece on display at the Waterfront Arts Project the Promenade, Southport opens for public viewing on Sunday 30th September, 2pm to 5pm. The exhibition featuring many artists both local and national is titled 'Windows' and features paintings, sculptures installations and photography. The Gallery is free to visit and is open every day from 12pm to 4pm. 

Twisted Pages piece 'Under the Umbrella of the Soul' is a mixed media installation using a variety of our paper manipulation techniques. The piece was inspired by the quote

'The eyes are the window to the soul'




We have created this piece with the help of some of our friends, family and supporters who kindly answered a questionnaire that we created around the subject of the soul. The questions were as follows:

1. What would you say in your own words a persons soul is?
2. Can you describe in a sentence what I would see if I could look inside your soul?
3. If you could choose a colour to represent your soul, what colour would you choose?
4. What would you say that the single most important thing is to you?
5. If you could choose three things that you wanted in life, what would they be?
6. What are you most proud of?

The response that we got was fantastic, the wide variety of honest and interesting answers gave us lots of ideas. We took the answers as our starting point and from them created the newest creation in Twisted Pages portfolio and we are really proud of it!

We would like to say a special thank you once again to all thepeople that helped us on this piece, we couldn't have don this without you :)
