It will explore how Karen’s artwork evolved out of working site-specifically and on international residences, to create a unique poetic visual language that transverses media (film, painting, performance and installation).By investigating and immersing in diverse collaborations with creative practitioners and communities, scientists, engineers, lawyers and members of the criminal justice system, the work invites the audience to engage in a 'painterly reverie' that uses oblique, visual stanzas to communicate challenging social issues.Agenda?: 05:30 PM - 06:00 PMBwyd, diod a rhwydweithio/Food, drink, and networkingInfo: Cyfle am rywbeth bach i’w fwyta ac yfed a sgwrs gyda’r mynychwyr a siaradwyr.
