I was asked to take part in the Umbrella Objective a project in which 20 umbrellas are sent to 20 invited artists, returned, documented in film episodes and featured and sold in a Showcase Parade at Artfusion in Glasgow on June17th. (List of artists involved below)
I was working on my umbrella over the weekend and have discovered that painting on an umbrella is pretty difficult. After a couple false starts I think I've got the hang of it now and fingers crossed a beautiful bright umbrella will be ready for heavy downpours by the weekend.
You can watch a little trailer about the project here.
