I love projects. Projects open up possibilities. Projects ask what if…? They invite you to come together with people who might not otherwise meet – partners and participants, volunteers and other creatives, each bringing a unique perspective. To get to know people over a day or a week or a month. To take a place, or a theme and, in collaboration with everyone else, to unfold it into something different. They begin with a clear direction and the learnings you gather along the way are those you expected, but also … the joy is in the unexpected.
The projects below reflect medium-sized commissions that have taken place in recent years. Links may take you to the websites of host organisations.
