About:
'Fold and Flow' was initiated in 2021 by professional Artist and Gallery Educator (Flora Duley)
She works collaboratively with other artists and in Gallery Art Education with different community groups between London and Hayling Island. Her artist Practice is sculptural and takes the expanded view that includes social practices, dialogue, painterly and performative art objects. Her interest in Baking and the social aspect of 'Cooking, Eating and Sharing'have led to the collaborative projects with 'Loco Loaf' (previously Kennington Bakery, London)
"Sculpture is a tool to engage with others and I like Clay because of its flexibilty, plasticity and durability and that you can shape an idea into it or simply whack it into functional, beautiful and sculptural forms."
Fold and Flow as a social organisation is interested in the creative-social potential as well as the creative-making of Art and the possibilities for holistic health of a social organism that can be created when people meet to create Art and learn new skills. Research and learning is lifelong and inspirations are taken from the ideas of Joseph Beuys 'Social Sculpture', Heinz Grill 'Social Process', Rudolf Steiner Philosophy, William Morris 'Art And Craft Movement' and the 'Bauhaus' Art Schools.
