Catherine Eyde
Project 21
16.06.14 04.07.14
During June we had a completely new experience for us. Artist Catherine Eyde and her daughter Aria worked together exploring the artistic process of co-creation by creating a collaborative daily drawing during their Exploration Residency. Eight-year-old Aria will be a mini-resident!
ARTIST(S) STATEMENT
The main objective of Project 21-Buenos Aires is to create images with my daughter Aria, who brings a spark of unlimited freedom to our work together. To quote Picasso: “All children are born artists. The problem is how to continue being an artist as they grow up.” Working with Aria encourages me to continually experiment with paper. She constantly reminds me to relax and enjoy shaping movement and change. My imagination mutates although it maintains a style. I seek to break my own limits and orient myself towards a bold and new art, managing to develop innovative paintings. With our unique artistic team I hope to communicate that creativity is possible and is still present after being a parent. We thank Proyecto ´ace for this opportunity!
