After our first collaboration we were tossing around some ideas about how to continue this collaborative process of throwing an unexpected spanner in the works. We were considering sculptural display methods for our work, Ben said he could imagine some really…
One of the things which came up during my masterclass crit was that my work would benefit from having more story and subject matter incorporated into it.
