Home is Where Your Niche is

Taking inspiration from the creative explorations of Z'otz* Collective and their use of niches to add infinite dimension in their murals. We challenge you to experiment with combining 2D and 3D elements in art making.

London based artist Jacqueline Demendeev joins us through videos, designed to compliment this project, to share her love of visual storytelling and show you how to create a world of your own. Learn the basics of drawing with white paint pen and explore paper crafting with dynamically layered silhouettes inside and out of a wooden niche.
