About the project

Feel the Feeling

Informed by and created for local residents, a series of small, medium and large scale interventional typographic works expounding their feelings and aspirations; developing notions of shared identity using new writing situated in and on the landscape / cityscape of North Staffordshire; delivering opportunities for ongoing reflection, innovation and equitable communication.

Feel the feeling is a socially directed art focused project embodying the role of art and design in the public realm through the use of language unfettered by ideology.

Socially directed:
> defining civic perception and aspiration
> developing confidence, empowering
> addressing media awareness/literacy
> enhancing sense of community

Art focused:
> image vs language/emotion vs reason
> art enabling social discourse
> art as catalyst for change/progression
> political and cultural identity through creative practice
