To nurture a sense of curiosity and playfulness is what I am most interested in, both for myself and for my students. Learning through processes of experimentation, trying out new things, we can look at our own sense of who we are and how we interact with the world. We can also see making art as complete escapism that brings us joy and a great sense of fulfilment.
