Project summary:

I am an artist-curator who works collaboratively, addressing social issues by setting up events and encounters for specific situations in public spaces. I make temporary relationships with diverse people in their own locality - shared experiences of art as process, art as traces, art as an intervention.

 

I'm using AA2A to set up a dialogue with the creative community of staff ands students at Chesterfield College. Building up a bank of gesturing hands, I'm looking for shared ideas. It may turn into a handbook for creative professionals: clues, hints and thoughts that may be of use to others.
