Reading as a root to drawing
and planning new artworks
The first reading group
visit. This could be what I am looking for as part of my project
stimulus. It takes place in one of the mysterious bulbous objects entered
from the fifth floor the rounded room is light and airy. We read ‘A Worn Path’
by Eudora Welty, in sections and discuss each section as we go along, just
realised we didn’t discuss the title which in fact is very relevant... Oh
well...It’s a beautiful story and the discussions were in depth as we were just
five people.
Next a poem by Langston Hughes,
the poets name jumped out at me directly and I mentioned my interest in the
Harlem Renaissance artists and explained that this is how I knew of the
writer. The poem ‘Mother to Son’ has hugely universal theme, but my
knowledge of the period in which it was written lead me to feel the hardship
that had evoked such a poem.
The session perfect, I shall
continue to attend and take the opportunity to pick up a couple of bargains in
Rye Lane on route to Station.
