Thought I'd show you some photos of the exhibition I did recently. The photos were taken by my eldest son, who, at fifteen, is just starting to get into photography. I'm a very proud mother. It was so lovely to work with him on an art project.
We hung in the exhibition space as live exhibits whilst we were drawn by the artist Sebastian Lowsley Williams.

I don't know if you've ever done any aerial circus, but it takes a lot of strength to hold a pose for more than a few seconds. We had to choose poses that we could hold for 2 - 5 minutes. It's quite a challenge for the artist sketching. They have to work very fast.
It really felt very beautiful to be hanging in a gallery as Art.
In the photos it looks effortless. We must be great actors because everything was hurting by this point.
I Love the mess of ink and paper on the floor. Our shadow selves set amongst the colour of the paintings elsewhere.
Our setting was a magnificent old sugar factory.
THE IDEA OF AERIAL SKETCHING WAS INITIATED BY MY FRIEND FROM AIRETIKO AERIAL ARTS. SHE HAS ORGANISED ARTISTS AERIAL SKETCHING RETREATS AND TAKES AN AERIAL ART GALLERY AROUND UK FESTIVALS.
