RE/MAKING

Why re/making matters

The opportunities & challenges of living & working in today’s world have more meaning when we focus on the problem of waste materials. Making with discarded objects & materials - RE/MAKING - creates tangible physical change. It can also demonstrate to others how they might do it for themselves. From whole exhibitions, to limited edition prints, capsule collections to commissioned prototypes, Becky prioritises creative practice as one of the most effective approaches to inspiring impactful change.
