I used it as a way to express emotions and thoughts I usually keep to myself...I could use it to find new ways to approach issues in my life.

Working alongside Emma McGordon, an award winning spoken word artist, Chez is taking part in SPINE Festival 2019 as Artist in Residence in Wimbledon Library. They devised a programme of activities for teens exploring mental health.

Thinking about how we talk to ourselves, how the world listens to us and how we can be heard- Chez’s workshop explores visual conversation and asemic writing as a means of self expression. Looking at how we can manipulate mark making, use shape and colour to convey emotion and thoughts.
