A participatory arts project delivered on behalf of Artist As Mother As Artist, an Arts Council funded exhibition curated by Tracey Kershaw and Sam Rose. I worked together with the curators and two groups of parents, their children and a group of women to bake bread from the dust in their hoovers.

The workshop was based upon Dust to Bread which was also shown as part of the exhibition together with the dust bread baked by the participants.

The workshop included a talk about my experiences of being a full-time carer at home and what inspired me to make Dust to Bread.

I would like to present this piece as a public performance working with a group of parents. If you would be interested in collaborating or helping to develop this project further or have a community group in mind that you would like me to work together with please do not hesitate to contact me.
