A new collaboration experiment together with Coffea (Katewalker)

Our first collaboration made exciting days to us. It revealed a great mental experience and inspired us to create something together again...

A few days ago we decided to work out our new collaboration game: creating something related to our childhood.

We established our new rules that were the following:
- Rule 1: The topic defined (Childhood) and we had to create our works regarding that.
- Rule 2: Don’t show any own drafts/results until our own concept is ready inside our mind (aiming not influence each other).
- Rule 3: There is no predefined photo-pool to select from. We can take any photos, can create any kind of results from our own sources.

What i saw and understood? Childhood is an enermous source. But what is remarkable: These memory fragments are reflections however the mirror is our current internal world/feelings.
We have many prints like small pictures, short movies in our memories. Some fragments are very clear, some of them hidden and needs a „hook” to became visible from the unvisible „deep”. When we found a piece from these hidden memories it is like finding a treasure.
There are own risks of these small, hiding fragments: our current feelings, emotions can expand, repaint them a little bit. Of course everything is bound to the same human, to the same mind and our past has very-very strong relationship into our today-mentality.

And now, let’s see the works:

Comments on Coffea’s work (as i see it) – Preference

As usual, Coffea’s illustration has its unique atmosphere. This work is a more step further, presenting the zone of the timeless inbetween. Seeing a child and an adult at the same time via the same human. You can’t catch it, fantastic emotions.

Comments on Space1999’s work – Help the Tin Soldier

I read this very sad Andersen-story a long time ago when i was about 10 years-old. (There was a library where i had a membersip and i went to this small library to borrow books, tales from it frequently.)
I had a strange feeling (as i remember) reading this tale. It wasn’t an ordinary story, i didn’t understood deeply i think. But i remember that it has depressing movements and finally i didn’t want accept that sad ending. It wasn’t a common tale and created its print in my mind (so, it is with me).
Reading the tale again as an adult i think Andersen put many feelings, rich emotions and several metafores into this short tale.
Now after many years i created a tribute to this tale and creating an „alloy” of the oldies memories with my current mentality.
This current work on the right side tries to show the internal Tin-like world of the Tin Soldier and tries to present and give support to him to reach his purpose.
Ont he left you can see possible fairy players with their created atmosphere from a possible past with a small secret on it. (You can find the Ballerina there). The question is: who and how created her? She is living maybe independently?
Yes, and i hope the Tin Soldier will find her since we are children as well.


Thank You Liz again for the great possiblity.
