Hello! If you are looking at the Chibok Blog, you may have already seen the other tabs on the Chibok website. Those tabs describe the impetus of the project and hopeful outcomes. This link will share daily stories of the work in the studio, drawings and prints of the figures, and the efforts to get the work out.
Last week I participated in a printmaking workshop at MOMA led by Michael Kelly Williams in connection with the Charles White exhibition. I made several drypoint intaglio prints there and can’t wait to make more. I’ve also been working with Karin Bruckner at the Carter Burden Center using the same process. Wonderful!
The kilns have been busy with the figures. Working with Olivia Beens at the Carter Burden Center I got the first 75 built. Thank you, Olivia!
To date I have 111 girls made. Each girl is numbered and drawn and a fabric turban is made for her head. The clay body I have been using is a low fire brown. I want to give a shoutout to Sana Musasama who has supported this project with her heart and soul. Here’s a picture from this week.
