Maya in Practice
Over three workshops at Brushstrokes Community Centre and with collaboration from Spectra, I led a creative exploration of Maya (illusion) for my research and development, funded by Arts Council England – the illusion of separation between humans and nature. We moved from collage and conversation to collaborative photography, then finished with powerful mask-making representing “masks” of modern civilisation, forces such as pollution, extraction, consumption, and convenience that obscure our interconnectedness with the living world. Each session deepened our shared inquiry, turning abstract ideas into tangible, emotional art which resulted in rich and thought provoking works. (November 2025 - Febuary 2026)
