Above are two digital images that i had printed on raw canvas for a recent exhibition at Chelsea College. The exhibition was for 1st Year PhD Students who's research is practice-led. 


This is a tricky area for me as i mainly work in participatory art (creativity and learning through community engagement i.e. Chelsea Salon Series) which tends not to result in material objects.


However, these works were created as advertisements for the Chelsea Salon Series. I combined images of individual practices and documentation of salon events and the resultant images roughly take the form of a tree. The images were selected randomly with only the overall hue, colour and tone of the image as a uniting factor. The combination of individual practices can be seen to form a network - a networks that is based on interaction and creativity which can result in new relationships and ideas.
