Body Talk

Body Talk explored the concept of Self - a symbiotic relationship between body and mind, and say four communities group work with artist in residence Tom Weld.

Exhibited works included prints, photographs, painted and stitched textiles, conceptual clothing, reconstructed textiles, jewellery and mixed media installations.
