WHAT MESSAGE/FOOTPRINT DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE IN OUR WORLD?
My work as an artist, craftivist, researcher and educator is centred around the exploration of how art can be deployed in order to empower and engage individuals in the practice of everyday citizenship. The message I always look to instil is that change is possible and that we – as individuals who come together around a shared passion/goal – can make a difference.
