In My Head She Said: Why supporting creative projects matters by Sarah ORourke

Posted on August 18, 2011

""In My Head", She Said’ is a project that aims to highlight the diversity, complexity and creativity of the female mind by asking women from all walks of life to publish their experiences and philosophies in an encompassing and respectful environment."

“Gratitude”. Amazing what one simple word can inspire. The funny thing is, what it inspired was not directly related to gratitude at all – It just happened to be the topic of conversation with Tori Amos that made Carly Bramwell realise that we don’t hear women voicing their thoughts, ideas, and opinions on things like this anywhere near often enough.

Like most good ideas, the “In My Head”, She Said project has grown and changed and evolved many times since the initial idea was sparked. The project now boasts an ever-growing, impressive line up of female musicians including Lissie, The Pierces, Hannah Peel, The Smoke Fairies, and Sea Of Bees, who all share their thoughts on a diverse range of topics giving insight into the minds of these creative women. This short series of interview snippets gives you a great taste of what’s to come…

I am donating a mounted print of my portrait of Tori Amos to the fundraising initiative which you’ll find all the details of in my post.

I’d love you to take a look if you have a moment, and if you’re able to donate anything at all I know it would be so greatly appreciated.

    Love THIS, Love YOU.

    And I’ll donate any matted print from my portfolio.

    Thankyou so much Cia. I think at this late stage she’s in need of monetary donations(There’s a deadline of August 26th by which she has to have raised a certain amount for film equipment), but I will ask her whether your generous offer might help. I know that even just the thought will mean a lot to her, as she’s been self-funding all the way – which is really hard work with something like this! It really is support of friends and artists that’s kept the dream alive. :) xxx
