RESEARCH

 
...we must come down to earth from the clouds where we live in vagueness and experience the most real thing there is: material.
— Anni Albers (1938)

RE/MAKING

Re/making & sense/making

Becky uses the beauty and wonder of the world around her & the magic of the everyday, to create visually impactful remade visual works. Her ‘upcycled’ prints & garment one-offs are featured in museums, galleries & books as timely examples of how we might remake for resilience.

Making change, together

Words are easy. Action can be much harder. Working together, rather than alone, is key to creating real change & being resilient in the face of the climate crisis. Find out more about how Becky does this & access resources which will help you to take action yourself.
