“I found the attention to bodily techniques in the process of making especially interesting, and how this builds on the idea of a more ‘open-ended’ approach…
Very grateful for the opportunities which have got me to this point @OpenUniversity @OU_FASS @OU_ArtHistory
as well as to @PaulMellonCentr and to curators and archivists across the four nations including @nationaltrust who have enabled my research #GiltLeatherRooms
