Richard Downes
Associate Artist with Disability Arts Online I have been emerging as a late starter artist usually focused on disability issues which I have both personal experience of and a political commitment to as a proponent of the Social Model of Disability and as a long term activist with the Disabled People’s Direct Action Network. My work usually starts as poetic responses to a series of prompts which then uses self generated photographic images though increasingly the image leads. I aim to present Future Venture’s Foundation a film based on works responding to Talking Heads lyric to Once In A Lifetime.
