This project came about from the frustration of the lack of social connection due to covid. My project always focuses on people which set out challenges, but the whole idea came from the challenge to build a community through painting and the project started. Using resources like live streams on twitch and social media the paintings include people from all over the world sharing art workshops, mental health talks and disability awareness. The project has now grown to be a community where art can be shared and the audience can become part of the artwork. The live streams are something I will be continuing long after the exhibition finishes, so everyone has a chance to access and interact with art.
