this artwork was born from a series of intuitive art workshops run by artist Reem Maghribi and hosted by The Showroom gallery. participants explored tables full of diverse materials, accepting an invitation to connect through and build on each other’s work and creativity, utilising different materials and sharing diverse stories. the art works created were then brought together in a hanging sculpture of connected parts reminiscent of wind chimes and dream catchers, and complemented by a pamphlet of poems written in response to the workshops and art works.
