The pieces are build on the themes of Buddhism’s journey to the West, Manchester as a venue for Buddhist events over the years, Lama Jampa’s activity as dharma teacher and the experience of being a member of Dechen, the dharma community that he has established across the world.

Embodiments

Battle

After many good and endearing responses and conversations during and after the exhibition of my series 'Embodiments" it is time to plan next steps. Please keep an eye on this page where works in progress (both in relation to the series Embodiments and other work) will be shared.
From 22-28 April 2012 Molly shows three posters entitled 'Beyond Words - a Picture of Pain' at the Creative Outputs Creative Inputs exhibition, which will run in tandem with the NOI 2012 Neurodynamics and the Neuromatrix Conference at the Adelaide Convention Centre in Australia.

The work she presents is a selection of primary research undertaken as Artist in Residence at the Pain Clinic, Royal United Hospital, Bath, UK, in 2010. It also formed part of her research project on Envisioning Experiences of People’s Pain for an M.A. in Communication Design at the Bath Spa University, School of Art and Design, which won her a Distinction and the University’s Innovation Award in 2010.More about the NOI conference
