Wordsmith Crafts seeks to enable people to access their past
and by doing this better understand their present situation and hope for a better
future.
My living history activities give people space and time to step outside their
everyday lives and experience something new in a fun and informal atmosphere.
Because this imaginative step is based on real history, it encourages people
to think critically about the assumptions made in everyday life, whilst avoiding
some of the excesses of radical alternative living. By giving people of all
ages access to the knowledge and hands on skills required to interpret the past
we hope to enable them to better take an active part in crafting their culture.
My contemporary culture activities are inspired by an ethical indignation with the status quo and the need to live as a whole person in a fractured society. My artwork tests concepts, received wisdom and techniques by combining them with new materials, ideas and everyday living. They mark the path I have made by walking as I learn the way.
