Artist in Residence - Ilfracombe Museum 2021

In 2021 I was engaged as Artist in Residence for the Stay Curious project at Ilfracombe Museum as part of Art Fund's Respond & Reimagine programme. I worked with the Museum and local community to create an art installation and a timetable of family activities and events inspired by the weird and wonderful natural world exhibits at Ilfracombe Museum.

Community Arts Engagement

I have worked on numerous community projects, engaging people of all ages with creative arts.  I always give a camera to participants to allow them to document an activity process and reveal the experience from their point of view.  Gallery of images below.

TESTIMONIALS
​I had the pleasure of working with Mandi on a museum resilience project in 2021. I was impressed with her work as the lead creative practitioner. In my role as evaluator for the project I appreciated Mandi’s deeply thoughtful approach to deliver the best value for the client and the community it serves within the context of ever-changing COVID circumstances. Mandi was a dedicated and enthusiastic member of the project team who gave 120% and was hugely flexible when directions and deadlines needed to change. She is skilful at her many crafts, inspiring, generous and fun to work with.

Mandi is a Creative Practitioner who has both breadth and depth of skills and experience. Mandi's practice is developing and she is very interested in engaging with the community and heritage. She has recently worked on the 'Stay Curious' project at Ilfracombe Museum as artist-in-residence, responding to the Natural History Collection and producing activities and events with a family focus. Mandi never fails to surprise me with her ability to draw on a variety of practice - including photography, film-making, design, animation - and also her ability to respond to the project in hand to make it as successful as possible bringing her energy, ideas and enthusiasm.
