Description
Exploring the languages and personal stories of chronic illness and injuries, and the process of healing, through contemporary craft and the arts.
The healing arts places craft firmly within their discipline for recovery, though medical language coldly straddles the tactility and expressive ability of craft and the act of making.
The artists/crafts practitioners in this exhibition identify as having gone through a life changing illness or event. The language of their journey is intrinsically embedded through their work.
