Ripples - Haiku and Haiga
Cotham School Bristol UK
ripples
haiku and haiga
five women
only walk never rush
evening rain loren lewis-cole
bright sky
the wind blowing dust
into my face sally kite norman
limp hair
hangs past my cheeks
beating rain zosia bredow
promises unkept
a little girl plays
in the garden jess
sunset sky
the trample of feet over bridge
over water holly ford
ripples
in a barrel of water
morning light mint
frosted leaves
a man stoops
under the darkening sky suzy robinson
tired men
the smell of food
drawing them in
matthew lodge
thunder rumbles
her long flowing robes
sway jessie wildgoose
the masters rage
drowning out the servants sorrow
strangling grip sarah britton
a fat girl
sat on a fat cat
a blossomful tree daniel warilow
boats
drifting through the mist
cold sand ed leeming
writing a letter
the mischievous cat
plays with her work jack drowley
dreamy ocean
fishing boats swarm
against puffing clouds orlando hill
breathless quiet
a long day finishes
on wide smooth roads zoë glatt
strangers
the trees stay silent
in the late evening huw thomas
evening light
the wind hollows through
the leaves of a tree henry roger-jones
All these works were made during workshop with haiku poet and artist paul conneally as part of cotham school’s excellence in cities gifted and talented programme. The workshops were organised by Head of Art Sue Watson – the work in part examines the fragmentary nature of life - the whole being so much more than the parts.
During the day the students were introduced to the haiku of great Japanese haiku masters like Basho and Issa and some of the modern western haiku greats such as William J Higginson and marlene mountain.
The students also studied Japanese woodblock prints (ukiyo-e) and went on a ‘ginko’ – a haiku walk – to collect fragments in the form of both words and physical objects that they then used to make their haiga (pictures with haiku). These haiga existed physically for perhaps no more than twenty minutes – but here they are in digital form for you to enjoy

Shoppers browsing the shelves in chain-stores across the Midlands have been getting more than they bargained for, as they discover items left by an artist who says he is “shopputting” – the opposite of shoplifting.
Loughborough-based Paul Conneally has been placing clothes, shoes and other goods with labels attached to them informing the customer that they aren’t for sale, but can simply be taken.
He has been stopped by security four times and police have been called twice during the latest stage of his project, which has taken him to Topshop stores across the region. But after explaining that it is not against the law to place goods in a shop without permission, the artist has been let off each time.
Writing on his Blog (http://www.a-n.co.uk/artists_talking/projects/single/581091) on the Artists Newsletter website, Conneally explained that shopputting is "another word for giving".
He also gave an example of a happy customer in Derby: "One teenager stopped as she took a pair of Shopputted labelled tracky bottoms out of the shop - she appeared to show the security man the label and he chatted on his radio and sent her on her way - both were laughing - that's good - hope they fit her."
Conneally's Topshop project will continue until the end of November 2009.
