inspire their Lightbulb Moments
Walking my dog on the Pennine hills
or more irritatingly, just as I am about to go to bed, and then I can't sleep. Claire
In the sauna! I think it is the ideal
place for me to free my mind and just relax. Maggie
For me it is usually first thing in
the morning, often that moment when I am just waking up, if I don’t have to
leap out of bed to an alarm but can allow my dreaming spirit to settle back in
my body, bringing an image with it. Jo
I only have to see a broken fence or
a beautiful window or dead flower & it happens. I get excited as my
thoughts wander, I take photographs, make drawings, make copious notes &
gather fabrics, then I'm off.... Julie
If it is for a site-specific piece,
then a trip to the site and a careful study with sketches or photos usually
gives me things to think about and work on. I find it works best when I go with
no preconceived ideas. That is when I get the most creative ideas. Catherine

When I am in my own space: in the
night although the idea is often ridiculous in the morning! or driving down a
country lane. Anne
Two days ago a whole bank of wild
primroses; soft, muted, delicate yellows on a grey morning.
So perfect! Catherine W

I often think of things when I’m dog
walking - I think it’s that enforced break from whatever I’m doing and being
inspired by the small differences in familiar places, the changing light, the
changing seasons. Gemma
I have those light-bulb moments in the middle of
the night but also when you read or see something that 'speaks' to you. Sue
