Making Art Work
Artist Sinéid Codd, in conversation with Mary-Alice Stack, Arts Council England, former Director of Paintings in Hospitals

The discussion will focus on some of the functions of art and art making for an artist working within both private and public spheres - particularly the arts in health sector.

Sinéid Codd is an artist with extensive experience in developing participatory arts projects. Since 1997 she has been working in the arts and health sector on a series of commissions for institutions such as The Royal London Hospital, Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Trust, Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Trust and the Great Western Hospital. She co-ordinated the ARTBRIDGE artist in residency program with Paintings in Hospitals (1999 - 2001). In April 2009, her work was featured on a BBC Arts in Health slide show (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8014719.stm)

Sinéid's personal work explores relationship, loss and memory through colour and natural form. She has exhibited with the Whitechapel Gallery and the Royal Academy and has work held in private, public and corporate collections.

Sinéid’s latest solo exhibition 'underneath and in-between' continues at Curwen & New Academy until 21 November.
