Socially engaged Art -
In my practice, for my next photo shoot, I plan to involve the public. So at present I am beginning to look into this area of research. There is no point in trying to solve a problem within society unless you somehow involve the society in the work? maybe, at present this is just something that I am looking into. If I consider our / my culture, the one place that comes to mind for me is the store called 'Pennys' for me this is a social engaged space and was a haven for me for little treats when going through IVF - the little things can become big things, and in the context of this store, this can make or break your day. Treat yourself often, and wrap yourself in cotton wool. - Always.
