Hello there!
I’m Claire Turner, the Art Editor! I’m a final year art
student at Curtin University and a practicing visual artist/poet- http://claire-turnerart.com
These past four months I think the moon and stars
drastically rearranged themselves - I've been handed a number of career making opportunities
and I feel elated with the art world right now, as opposed to contemplating the harsh and
never ending injustices towards artists that life seems to always offer.
So, I began the position a week from Monday, I am so excited
to be here! I've even told my roommates to address me as Miranda Priestly, in
which I only reply with “That’s all.” And I've perfected my pursing of the lips
to a max.
In terms of my plans for the Art Department at Colosoul, I
have big dreams of which will all come into fruition given time! Since I was 13, I have been fixated-obsessed-hell-bent on recreating Andy Warhol’s Factory (a little
insight into my crazy idealism) and I've found a place in which my obsession
could become a definite reality, and in my own home town of Perth.
Whaaaattt?!?!?!
Building a department and finding one’s own team may send
most people into stress-ville, along with starting at a new job, or not knowing
how to pay next week’s rent because your awesome new job doesn't pay and you’re too
committed to look for paying word - but not me! In fact, I may be on such a
creative high at the moment that nothing will ever phase me for some time!
What
I am going to love most of all about this role is meeting people through their
submissions -artwork or written - and of course helping them with a uniquely
important task of establishing themselves through Perth's art scene!
Art is life and death; I'm too passionate about art to
function!
Somebody posted this very inspiring picture to Instagram on
the weekend and I thought it could apply to career opportunities and the journey of making
your dreams happen, as well as pizza (an equally important part of life).
