| When I started thinking about how I wanted to illustrate Watershed's 10th year anniversary, it didn't take long for my mind to settle on doing something around our logo - the "W". I thought what better image to play around with than an image that has been with us right from the start, which is saying a lot considering we are community that flows in and out of images like ... water. For whatever reason the "W" has stuck with us regardless of the changes we go through and so to honour it's loyalty I decided to focus my imagination on this very simple form. Simplicity can be beautiful to the eyes in a clear and pristine sort of way and from my experience with the "W" this was definitely the case. The simple flowing form surprisingly gave me a lot of room to fill it with colour and nuance - I enjoyed the distinction that was created between the bottom and top. I began to see that, like the breaking we went through as a community way back, the foundation of the "W" carries with it cracks and rubble, somehow still beautiful because the colour and flow that emerges reminds me of new life. And of course, in keeping with the spirit we've been graced with, the new that come out of the old feels like water-life, splashing up from the depths. | |||||||||
