About

Caroline Packham is interested in how art and creative practice influence problem solving and futures thinking. Through art she explores ways to process emotion in the mind and body and enliven connection, adaptation, regeneration and creative thinking. Caroline combines traditional art practices with projection creating warmth, texture and performance based movement as a rustic digital methodology. She aims to create work that is accessible for diverse artists, participants and audience.
