Statement

Ali is an artist who has a passion for connecting people and generating dialogue through her work. For the last 25 years she has been inspired by the art form of carnival, and has designed carnival bands and outdoor performances. She is known for her textile work on silk on a very large-scale. Ali is now inspired to take a new direction and is devising interactive projects that are more closely connected to the landscape. She is creating a series of participatory walks as a starting point for engaging and connecting communities and for inspiring the creation of new work, which will take many forms.
