‘…Agnes is a wheelchair user who refuses to be limited by her disability. Important things for her are her gloves – without which her hands get very sore – and her cushion which gives her a feeling of stability and confidence…’
Tutor Simon Barber has an exhibition of his latest work ‘Surviving on the Edge’ at the Norden Farm Centre for the Arts in Maidenhead from 23 May to 3 June. Simon’s practice is highly collaborative, working with the ‘subjects’ in his work to reveal what is important to them – you can read more about how he approaches his work in this interview he did with Michael Freeman last year.

Gorgeous picture.
Lovely picture, wish I could get to the exhibition.
For those that can’t make the exhibition some of the images can be previewed in the accompanying book. Use the link http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/3214020
I found the book very compelling, particularly the chance to see the stories behind the headlines, and the Eden Project and Slough collaborations.
I wonder what these projects mean to the participants? One hopes they take away a greater sense of being valued and of self-worth.
