A Celebration of the life of Bridget Malone

This is a dedication to the Artist Bridget Malone, who recently left  this earth to fly around the universe and continue to work on making mischief and magic!

Bridget and I graduated from Exeter School of Art 2002 in Fine Art/ Contextetual Practice, which meant we got our degree for being creative and having ideas ( we had many !)

At art college we collaborated together and became art activists and created a series of Tea Parties, we would sit for hours and discuss ideas of how we would change the world and make a more colourful place.
MAKE TEA NOT WAR says the post card and - BIG LOVE is written on a tea cloth from Bridget on my  kitchen wall.
We believed in Peace and Love as our foundation for everything and in creating senseless acts of beauty and practicing kindness and giving.
Anne Frank once said:

‘Give whatever you have to give, you can always give something even if its a Simple act of kindness, people who give will never be poor’.

Bridget gave us so much.

Through her  Art Bridget paid homage to ‘The workers’.

She made art which saluted the Honiton Lace makers, who often lost their sight to make lace for the rich, and to the cleaning women of Poltimore House.

 Bridgee was passionate about her role as the Artist/Decorator, decorating parties with her rags was a big part of her life –making mini utopias, beautiful spaces,  a woman who bought people together, creating happenings, and magic all around.

She was a kind, loving, sweet, magical, inspirational, creative and passionate person, who sprinkled our lives with joy and happiness.
A free spirit, one of a kind, A beautiful soul, we were blessed to have shared some of our life with Bridgee, our memories of her will never fade.

You are all always around us Bridget forever in our hearts.
Thank you for everything you gave us.
 Now Rest in peace my love
