A Collective: Working Towards a Better Place

Abstract

This body of work, A Collective: Working Towards a Better Place, is comprised of points along my timeline that embody the way I have come to connect with people face to face. I realized these connections are important for our well-being. I took a step back and pondered the individuals and places that have influenced me in the past to create three series, The Family Table, Conversations over Coffee, and Post Soccer Game Refreshments. This led me to consider how I could create opportunities to work within my community to help build a positive space. Working within the ECU ceramics community guided me to the participation of Stone Soup. Further investigation inspired me to created Community Lunch, an event to bring people together and contribute to a cause.
