2019 Itinerant Object collaboration with Trinity Winchester Community Art Group and Winchester School of Art
The TAG (Trinity Art Group) members comprise of individuals who may have experienced one or more of the following: domestic violence, mental / physical health issues, homelessness, poverty, addiction and social isolation. These aspects of their lives often preclude them from feeling like a “productive” member of their community, even though they are care providers, volunteers and socially minded. Immaterial production offers a poignant lesson that shows value does not only lie in material production, rather it can be found in a myriad of activities – these (often humble) acts and expressions contribute and enrich the fabric of our culture, our society and our collective wellbeing. This Initial exploration of the Itinerant Object project was inspired by one of the Trinity Art Group members daily litter picks.
The litter-pick then inspired a series of sculptural work created with recycled / found materials
