My Projects
AWEAR: making wearable gestures of hope about climate change
AWEAR Workshops
Workshops are held across communities- combining making and conversation



Artworks by participants of AWEAR workshop 2025 Art Farm Birchs Bay


As well as working with communities and other artists I am designing and making wearable artworks which can spark conversations about climate change and hope.

AWEAR Sculptures

Installed as part of the 2025 Art Farm Birchs Bay Sculpture Trail exhibition this work is called
Put Yourself in the Climate Change Picture.
​
Both denial and despair can lead to inaction on climate change. But, talking about it can shift values and behaviours. I invite visitors to step up, put themselves in the picture and be part of the conversation.
