aMoment

Kathy Holowko and aMoment were invited to play with ArtPlay.
To be part of their school workshop series: “We are all the same. We are all different.”
We parked the caravan at their schools.
And we took them inside one by one.
We also built mini caravans.
Their own caravan, for their own journeys…

To see them side by side, have a look here.
These kids quite simply, are beautiful.

We’d like to take the caravan to other places. Cities, towns and what not.
And so, we were hoping for a little help…

Just comment below or drop us a line…

Little as we were in the scheme of things, White Night was a memorable evening. With lots of moments happening for people all across the city in different ways.
Our heart skipped thinking about it all.
The lights. The foam. The water. The streets. The music. The conversations. The friendships formed. The dancing. The breadth of people. The beginning of something special.

Situated opposite the magnificent electric canvas work on Flinders St, we had  a beautiful view and evening.
Never have we had this many people peek through our windows.
Nor, had people queuing for an hour to experience it. (happily queuing, this wasn’t the grumble grumble sort)

The bells tolled at 7pm and very quickly as we began, a queue formed.
Children galore raced up, all windows occupied.
Peeking even had its own queue at one point..!
A family of 4.
Two 12 year olds.
A little girl with white wings.
Watching the lights come up. The events grow. The crowds swell.

“I could stay in there all night”.
“We always need to document everything, it’s nice to not do that in there, in a digital way.” “So short, but allowed so much to happen.”

Around midnight, the typewriter seemed to be a bit of a challenge as people became tired.
We understood. We were tired too.

A pregnant woman was inside.
Her husband peeked through one of the windows.
They kissed.

“Who is aMoment, where can I find her?”"I don’t know what I was expecting, but I didn’t expect that.” Grin.”I don’t think I should have written what I did.”
“Dude. That was awesome.” And a high-five.
“Wow. That’s the place I’d like to die in.”Tears welling.
Dazed looks. Probably as much from us, as from you.

In the wee hours, things slowed down..though we never stopped.Meanwhile we fell a little in love with Uptown Brown. Thank you Mr Brown.

We think this sentiment was what many were thinking:
“thank you. I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed here. This is what I needed”.
aMoment from the fray…

We have white notes.
A white bed.
White roof.
White pins.
A white dress, white mask, white shoes.
aMoment likes white.
So. We were pretty excited that White Nights invited us.

Have you seen their program? If you like us, you will find lots of lovely things.
Like the Spheres of Love, Sparkel, Pieces of White, The Beasts from Behind, Still Present, and for our favoured little ones: Songs Stories and Shadows.

We will be tucked away in the Atrium at Fed Square.
We will be  there from 7pm to 7am, so come say hello. And keep us AWAKE!

It was a warm, warm, warm day at the Yarra Sculpture Gallery for the  3D Sustainable opening.

We were under a bridge. Which means we could take this photo.
Don’t we look cute?

It was also a day of:
- hanging out with a grass cow, a nest, an insect motel, a ring of white chairs and many other interesting and beautiful sculptures. We cannot recommend the 3D Sustainable exhibition enough!
- a lady who had rushed past us once at Gordon Reserve, was happily able to see it this time.
- a child snuggling under the covers and refusing to leave.
- being able share the experience with miss Kate Golding, our photographer for the first and other drops. This was very important for us.- discovering this magic tea  Pink & bubbly goodness.
- setting a new record for capacity: a pregnant woman with THREE little ones crawled in with her brood.
…and us forgetting to mention there were pins. Oops.

And for those maybe wondering why the sustainable living festival?
This is our Artist Statement:

aMoment for the future. Of twenty years ago, and twenty years ahead.
Who did we think we would be? Can we still change us, the world?

The caravan is made from 90% salvaged materials, fence pickets, an old trailer, doors, found paint, a friends’ mattress, an old sheet, ribbon from past projects and white trash found on the streets of Brunswick.
That spoon, straw, ipod will outlive us both.

If we all had aMoment maybe we’d make better decisions.
If we all had aMoment maybe the world would change for the better.
This work reminds us we are all responsible.
And not alone.

Today we will be dropping paper planes in Melbourne somewhere…
If you see us, let us know! xx aMoment

We have something you might like.
But it has a password, to keep it safe.
The password is the age of the girl in the white dress.
