Working Update

Current participatory work update:

At present, I am working as a participatory artist researcher in the ART and SOLE (Self Organised Learning Environments) Research headed by Helen Burns at Newcastle University and in partnership with BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art. Working with teachers, researchers and in schools investigating new ways that the SOLE can be used creatively with artistic outcomes in schools and gallery settings.

Artist residency at Gosforth Junior Middle School in Gosforth in partnership with Gem-arts. Delivering a programme of model making and animation raising awareness of diverse faiths and art forms across the North East.

I am working on a commission from the Laing Art Gallery in Partnership with TATE Britain to make a one off sculptural work as part of a resource box based on themes that were shared over the space of the project, by the hard to reach young adults who participated in the ‘Changing Landscapes, Changing Lives’ project.

I am part of a collective of Artists who work creatively with iPads and digital technology in the making of new work with older people living with Dementia. The We engage project promotes inter generational working and aims to showcase contemporary artwork made by older people.
