Alongside our Collaboration Meetings, we’ve been making new work, of course. Some of us have been using treasure from our stashes, others are using second hand or gifted materials, others still are making work that will be fully biodegradable. We’re all very excited to witness the different ways that each seam member is exploring ways to be more sustainable in their individual practices. Each of us has been experimenting with our chosen materials, transforming them into an idiosyncratic and eclectic selection of art works. We can’t wait to share them with you, as part of the installation at ACEarts!
