OFF STAGE 2 IS AN ART COLLECTIVE FORMED BY CREATIVE ARTS PRACTICE STUDENTS, BATH SPA UNIVERSITY
Mia Snelling & Lola Bennett - WeeHood, 2022
​
WeeHood is a direct response to the space at the Old Magistrates Court Bristol, highlighting the female narrative and perspective that is still so ignored, especially in judicial spaces. Bringing light to the domestic spaces that we as women occupy and feel most comfortable and safe.
Artists Statement - Lola Bennett​
​
I explore my identity and memories through historically female craft. While also questioning and curating those works in a way that plays with arguments of craft/hobby art in the contemporary art world. I work mostly in textiles and ceramics, as well combining the two.
Artists Statement - Mia Snelling
​
How have we become the people that we are?
This is the question I explore through all aspects of my work, looking at childhood conditioning, societal expectations and environmental pressure. I love to explore new ways I can use and manipulate textiles and fabrics within my work to create new innovative art works.
