Informed by her own lived experience of repeating words as a result of having Tourette’s Syndrome, artist Grace Culley will invite participants to experience the embodied process of repeating a word to the point that the original function of the word becomes diffused. She will guide participants through a process-based method of turning a written phrase into a stamp that will then be used to transform the written phrase into an abstract artwork on paper. Participants will be offered to take their stamps home and continually use it as a form of long term endurance art.
Comfortable clothing is recommended, aprons will be provided but we might get a bit messy!
