I worked with Foundling to deliver a series of 3 projects as part of a pilot arts and health project (Autumn 2021) at the Foundling Museum in partnership with MIND Camden as part of their Healthy Minds Community Programme.

The Foundling Museum writes “… taking inspiration from the Museum’s story of care and social activism. Artist Katriona Beales led on a series of projects in 2021-22. Love~in~Knots took inspiration from the ribbons in our tokens collection, which are symbols of love and affection. Worn & Re-Worn looked at the fabric tokens to explore personal patterns and motifs. These projects interlaced traditional craft-based techniques with digital scanning and image-making, transforming materials and adding layers of meaning.

A third project with Katriona Beales, Emblems For the Future, drew on the Foundling Hospital’s emblem designed by William Hogarth to develop the group’s own emblems, creating a collaborative limited-edition print of unique symbols.”
