Community Arts and Heritage 1997 onwards
This page features a small selection of images from community projects produced over the last twenty three years. It's difficult in some ways to picture this work especially since I value the process as much as the product, I've been working with people since I graduated in Fine Art in 1997 and that experience has gone on to inform my artistic and academic work. The page gives a brief overview and is still a work in progress which I'll be adding to in time.
