Louise’s practice is currently centred around communication and the mishaps that come along with it. Her current work investigates “tools of loneliness”; digital devices that are created to assist with communication yet instead create a growing sense of isolation. The use of public transport, the escapism of it and how the “non-space” of transport can be an office space overlaps with this interest. It is fascinating to her that public spheres are meant to be shared, yet are controlled isolated spaces.

Throughout her time at OSE Louise has co-organised multiple events, including a series of workshops exploring areas of nature presented at Garden Gate, workshops based around gaming and fiction. One, in particular, was a workshop with Marsha Bradfield exploring the ethics of work. From this Louise has continued to investigate the work ethics within creative industries and how administration is becoming increasingly involved in art practice. She has been questioning whether it is possible to use common online administration tools such as google drive in a beneficial way to build artist communities and collaborative practice. This was also largely influenced by the Feedback event organised for Art Licks. From this Louise is currently working with members of the incidental unit and will be presenting a workshop in Radmin.

After being inspired by the public programming aspect of the Associate’s programme, Louise is continuing to investigate how accessible learning can be achieved, also exploring how artist communities can be supported. She continues to work with art communities in South East Kent, developing multiple workshops with the so-called public. From being a part of OSE, Louise has been questioning the meaning of “Public” and the want of accessible education.
