With the second series of Uniting the World Through Art: Love & Peace VS Fear & War on the way for 2023 I am pleased two boxes full of canvasses have arrived (only a small chunk of the complete project) at my house in the UK today ready to spread around the country! AnnMarie, at the same time, continues working on the project in DC with people who like to take part in the London exhibition. I am preparing for a workshop in Oxfordshire and London in case people prefer to work in a group setting. We are aiming to have all the 160 completed canvasses back in July 2023.

I find it a special moment when I stare at all the blank canvasses before they go. Only prepared with a few black lines on it… the ‘unknown’ stage. What it will become…? What outcome do I work with this time? When I see them back, stories have been told, colours and words have filled the white, people have expressed their emotions on it and it has changed into something else. The stage of the process of the project I don’t have any control over but makes it so special.
