Words and Colours: a record from lockdown
Words and Colours: a record from lockdown
“The book is a powerful artwork of the most unusual period in our time . Art also becomes a historic record while sharing one’s emotions and experience through creativity is known to improve mental health and well-being.” Dr Outi Remes, Director, New Ashgate Gallery
“This lovely book helps us to remember how quickly life has changed this year and the emotions that went along with it. The combination of words that express people’s feelings, information from the time and a painting which reflects all of this, triggers the reader’s memories of their experience and helps navigate their own. As a piece of work, it helps us all try and understand and is well worth a read.”
Josh Godfrey, Curator of the Museum of Farnham
“Art can address the foreboding challenges we face. Stephanie’s project signals a sea change in art and communication. Words become visceral colour and gestures sooth or bite back – it creates a conversation – drawing on individual raw emotions and collective experience and processing them in a way that speaks to us all.” Jesse Leroy Smith, international artist and curator
