![]() Transformation Thurrock asked Create’s curator, Lisa Anderson, all about the show. TT: What is the idea of Create and where did that idea come from? LA: The idea of Create is to show hidden talent, celebrate, learn, be inspired, conversation, and enjoy the day! Originally inspired by seeing many homes opened up in Brighton to view artists’ work, buy paintings, eat cake, something that happens every year in May.
LA: For confidence to grow in individuals, for each year to see progress. TT: Where does all the art come from? LA: Some of the art is from children, teenagers and adults who are part of the Stanford Boiler Room, and some is family, neighbours, word of mouth also! TT: Is the art at the Create exhibition all of a particular type? LA: I would say the art is all different!
LA: It is a reflection of us as individuals -its what we love to do… TT: So what types of art were on display this year? LA: Paintings in oil and acrylic, knitting, carved wooden crosses, photos, short video clips, pencil drawings, collage on canvas, cards, hanging baskets by local female gardener, 3D model work. TT: What sort of folk come to Create? LA: People who are part of the Stanford Boiler Room, our friends, family.
LA: A balance, life,opportunity to give advice, encouragement, colour and excitement, joy, relief, answers, revelation.
