My name is Stacey. I'm 46 years old and a single mother of a teenage boy. Four days a week I teach in a secondary school and I make art. I'm interested in exploring questions around what creative practice is, how it enriches our experience and the ways we can integrate this into a busy life.  My own practice is currently centred around a mixture of collage, assemblage and drawing.  Some recurring themes and motifs are femininity, motherhood and aging as well as transformation and change. I'm very interested in the human experience of separation and the suffering we undergo as a result of this. I think when we make something that feels 'right' somehow to us, there is a dissolving of this separation and a sense of wholeness.  Through making and connecting I want to understand more deeply how we can validate each other's creativity because I think what we make really matters 🤘
