SALVATION. SALVATION. SALVATION.
A commission for Camberwell Arts Festival
I have been awarded a commission, by Camberwell Arts, to make a new work as part the celebrations for 20 years of Camberwell Arts Festival. Twenty commissions have been awarded to artists to make work at venues in Camberwell. I have been working with the Salvation Army Heritage Centre and have created an installation for their museum and inspired by their collection and archive.
