Emerging Artists - we have the<br />
power to steer our future into the<br />
next phase <strong>of</strong> culture! We can<br />
make the items that write the<br />
history. We can influence opinion.<br />
We can change understanding <strong>of</strong><br />
this throw-away society into<br />
something healthier for us all!<br />
Sometimes it might not seem<br />
like our work can touch as many<br />
hearts as we wish, or in the ways<br />
we intend, but that's the magic<br />
<strong>of</strong> humanity and unpredictability.<br />
Don't be disheartened, because<br />
one thing is for sure, your objects<br />
- as obscure or as functional as<br />
you decide - will always be odd to<br />
the many ... until the powerful few<br />
inform their opinion.<br />
SO Dear, fresh-faced and<br />
struggling artists, let us, together<br />
make our journey into the pixel<br />
eyed public and refresh their<br />
memory <strong>of</strong> a time when<br />
possessions were few, unique<br />
and eternal.<br />
Let's get excited!<br />
Kindest regards,<br />
Rachael McCollum<br />

PS: Thank you to Holly, Ruth and Anne<br />
