on sunday every week in 2012 I'm posting one small 'art gesture' 

undertaken at some point during the previous week

*here's where the idea originated   and    *what I discovered in my initial 'art gesture' challenge

....

a year of arty gestures...

yep - you read right

starting tomorrow I'll be making/posting one arty gesture each week of 2012

 

My 'an art gesture a day' month-long challenge was a total revelation to me and since completing the month of daily arty gestures I've been keen to return to the process and idea - but in a more manageable form - soooooooo..... each week during 2012 I'm planning to find a few moments to undertake an arty gesture and every sunday for the next 52 weeks (eg all of 2012) I'll (hopefully) post a pic (or series of pics) of the results.  

No promises mind you! (that way there will be no pressure and no disappointment).

I hope you'll drop by tomorrow or some other sundays throughout this year

ps - after a marathon effort FP has completed a lovely path to the studio today so everything is on track for a May bookworks studio opening (fingers very much crossed!)
