17 16 I live alone withmy daughter so for me it (the project sessions) became something I really look forward to knowing that there was a group of adults, that we could be really honest about the way that we felt. In the beginning (of the project) I think the group were all a little bit guarded. Thinking ‘what do we think the answer should be’, ‘are we supposed to be really happy about it or um is it okay that we’re really sad about it’? and I think as it went on people became their authentic self and said exactly how it felt for them for me personally. I loved it. That’s not to say that there weren’t challenges, but the most important thing for the project for me was the fact that I’mnot very artistic and so to be able to have these other artists come in, it was really cool to learn about the work that they naturally do and to try and get a foot in that door almost and be able to learn how to turn an experience into a tangible thing was really precious tome.
