JMCAnderson is an Artist, Community Curator and Facilitator underpinned by her socially engaged practice. Her work is an exploration of identity, place and belonging usually contextualised by co-creating with communities, to raise awareness, educate and encourage conversations. Anderson uses text, audio, paint and performance within her work to investigate narratives and stories from the past, present and future. She is influenced by theories on semiotics and visual tautologies, where language is used both visually and linguistically within her work. She is interested in collective thinking, the communication of language and it’s meaning-making process.
