Things from Home 2017

A project undertaken In 2017-18, during my time as Artist in Residence at Nottingham University’s Lakeside Arts Centre. 

‘Things From Home’ was an Arts Council funded project to develop and test ideas about how objects that are missing from our lives assume a great importance in our memories, how they might reflect our cultural roots and personal identities and how they can be ‘read’ in the same way as a narrative or text.  I worked with students from China who gave me verbal descriptions of the things they missed from home, and I interpreted their words into 3d ceramic sculptures.
