David Bromley Sesame Street and the Story Behind the Collaboration
2 years ago

David Bromley Sesame Street and the Story Behind the Collaboration

David Bromley Sesame Street is one of the artist’s most nostalgic collaborations, bringing the characters, colour and imagination of Sesame Street into the unmistakable world of Bromley & Co. In this personal story, Bromley reflects on how the project began, the role of Eddie Zammit in connecting him with Sesame Workshop, and the creative challenge of translating Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Bert, Ernie and the wider Sesame Street universe into paintings, sculpture, ceramics, fashion, timber works and large-scale forms.

As the much-anticipated Sesame Street x Bromley… In Your Neighbourhood Exhibition prepares to open on Friday June 6, we share the story, written by artist David Bromley on the heartwarming beginnings of his relationship with the iconic children’s series. Talking openly, in his engaging style, from the heart, he shares how the collaboration first took shape, where it all began, and the creative journey that combined two iconic names, Sesame Street x Bromley.

I often find that when it comes to something I’m deeply fascinated with and particularly at the start of a collaboration when I am pooling ideas together, there is a bit of a mix between manic and calm. It is a kind of frenzy to start with, images appear in my head and before all components are organised (in this case, with the powers that be with Sesame Street in New York), I am already metaphorically running down the creative road with my wife Yuge – I’m making art, throwing pots with Graeme Richardson, starting to sculpt, working in fibreglass, bronze, steel and looking at fashion.

In relaying the story, I was talking into my phone as we drove into Melbourne from home in Daylesford, because our life is so extremely full on… we have so much on and for want of a better word or words, we are so time poor. I come from a time when you either wrote something on a typewriter or simply scribbled notes on paper, so talking into a phone is somewhat strange and clumsy but I can’t write in a car as I get motion sickness. I do though write how I speak, so in some ways talking into a phone does seem like a great way to just let the words flow. Normally when we travel to Melbourne from our country home we listen to podcasts and it is quite relaxing. As said, we are time poor, so to be on the road listening to podcasts has many great qualities… we relax… we learn… and by the time we hit the city we feel renewed and are often fascinated by a story about someone that is frequently full of surprise.

However, on this day, I knew I needed to get my story to this wonderful publication so instead of listening to a podcast, Yuge drove and I fought to get the phone to record my words in notes which just turned into a surreal bunch of words that it was impossible to gain any understanding from, so here I am now repairing the jumble to see if a small story about Sesame Street can be salvaged from me yelling at my phone for 45 minutes!
