During February and March 2021, I took [art in the pilot program Drawing Correspondence: GROW, led by Chloe Briggs, Tania Kovats and Anita Taylor. My participation was possible thanks to an award from WRoCAH (White Rose College of Arts and Humanities).

With only ten participants, the 6-week programme focussed on drawing and sharing. More info can be found here. It was an incredible opportunity to experiment, go back to basics, re-think and reflect on my personal and professional relationship with drawing. It was a privilege also to meet a wonderful group of people with whom to do it, and with whom to overcome and bridge the online void. The program ended with a publication, which is now available to view online, below:
