WORKSHOPS
Various other projects
Research, press, marketing and stage management.
Over a period of a few months I collected personal stories from local mothers and created an installation for the Eye Arts Festival in Suffolk. Curated text from the stories were scribed on the walls of an empty corner shop. The children’s and mother’s shoes and chairs were made into temporary sculptures; the stories made into books. During the festival I facilitated conversations between different groups of mothers.
