Planning and writing about the exhibition and Body of Work I re-read Gilda Williams’ How to Write About Contemporary Art. I was inspired to combine accessible language and emotional depth and clearly describe my work’s themes. The text should appeal to both general audiences and those familiar with contemporary art. It is essential to create a bridge […]

Regarding curation […]

I would like to add soundscapes to my work during this exhibition. Prouvost works with installation, sculpture, painting, textiles, sound, and moving images. Our work is based on pictures […]
How will my nests connect with the theme of RASA (NGO art project where I work as a volunteer/facilitator) called Breath, Breathe and Winged Things during the Solo Studios exhibition planned for August 2024?
