Social Bonds (Unearthing project / Tate Exchange)

From discussing 'social justice' last Saturday to 'restoring social bond through communal activity' and our voices this week. Still working with London clay, more objects were made by participants at Tate Exchange in response to these themes, the found objects on the river bed (see previous post) and the clay pieces modelled last weekend.

Knots, which recorded dancers moves last Saturday, now became signs and symbols of what connects us all. We all had a great time relating to each other through the process of making and I think the objects did too - see below.

More info on the Unearthing can be found on other posts on this blog as well as this and this link.
