The Coat of Hopes is a patchwork pilgrim coat, on an ongoing walk through Britain. Made, worn and walked by many hundreds of people during and since the pilgrimage on which it was created - from the south coast of England to the gates of COP 26, the UN climate summit, in Glasgow autumn 2021.

Little Amal, the child puppet created by Good Chance Theatre. I was commissioned to create a series of boxes as handover gifts from Bradford to Leeds.
A one day Art Installation reminding people of the dangerous journeys, refugees and asylum seekers have taken to get to a place of safety, seeking refuge in foreign lands to call it home.
