Correspondence used for the artwork ‘Many Hands: A year of exchanges and stories’
Hi BR, You chose ‘450:13500’ one of my favourites! Would you be interested in spending the 7hrs and 30 mins of time making a small painting reflecting your response to the project? I’ve always loved your graphic paintings. Is this something that resonates with you? You could come and paint it here in the gallery as a performance piece, or do it at home and keep a log of the time spent. The log also becomes part of the documentary process. When you hit 7hrs and 30 mins you just stop. I can supply you with canvas and paints if needed. What do you think? BK
Sounds fabulous, I’ve been thinking about how to approach this. Was thinking I could draw sketches of you or compositions of baskets, kinda like you would do figure drawing – timed a few 30 sec, then 1 min then 5 then 10 building up a bunch of studies, then knocking out a final artwork, coloured pencil/ink or possibly an oil painting. Still thinking about when, how. – BR
Sounds great! I’ve attached some pics of your basket and grouped with others so you can do it at home. Would be great to include your basket/object in the composition. Do you need me to supply you with any materials? BK
I hope you’re ok. I just wanted to check how you’re travelling with your exchange. How’s it coming along? Do you need me to supply you with any paints or do you have heaps? BK
Hey BR,How’s things? Just wondering if you’re getting my emails below? Hope things are well with you. Bk
I was just calling to make a date to catch up and also a time to do some painting. Give me a call – BK
slowly getting there BR

Hey BR, just chasing up the last of the exchanges. We need to exchange! It doesn’t matter if it isnt’ finished as long as you’ve spent the time. Does Thurs work? BK
