How Are You Feeling?

All our projects are about learning, finding out what matters and building self-confidence: core for health and wellbeing. Art, music, poetry, film - whatever the medium or form, nurturing creativity is our focus for young people in our community.

A composition of 60 self-portraits, line drawings in black and white.

Each portrait is an expression of individual identity, capturing thoughts and feelings which reflect the everyday and the not so everyday of life during Covid.

Collectively the artwork reflects different outlooks of young people in Sidmouth; humorous, fleeting, whimsical, random, sad, happy and reflective. This piece is a narrative of its time, gives voice to our young people, respects difference and is a reminder that creative activities can help us to share How we are feeling.
