DIY Shades of BristolClare Thornton (UK) + local residents |
This is a city-wide colour mapping project investigating everyday notions of Do-It-Yourself culture and colour associations relating to home and neighbourhood. The ‘map’ produced is a limited edition swatch book recording the personal shades and DIY top-tips shared with the artist through over 60 conversations and encounters across Bristol. The swatch book and a selection of self-mixed eco-paints are presented and then (re)distributed via participants and their networks. An eco-paint mixing day is a free open studio activity (supported by Naturepaint). The artist is also creating a special family event as part of the Mash Up day in February.
