Sleep Quilt, Delivered and Exhibited at Wellcome Reading Room
Wellcome Collection 2016, as Lead Artist/Quilt-maker 

Conceived as a response to the exhibition States of Mind, I hosted workshops at Wellcome and St Mungo’s, Endell Street inviting people to share their stories of sleep and embroider them into a quilt. 
Imagining Resistence Quilt, collaboration with Lead Artist Becky Warnock

My role as a maker was to develop a format that group could engage with to create printed and embroidered materials that could be stitched into a quilt. Taking cues from the group, I gathered the materials they worked on and created a final display piece that represented their experiences of self-advocacy and resistance.This outcome sat within a wider scheme of work facilitated by Becky with a team of AHRC funded researchers.

This quilt mapped the geo-tagged data recorded on my iPhone over the course of a year. The making of this work was an exercise in sitting with and better understanding the data I generate and my comfort with how that impacts the boundaries of my privacy.
