'Meet The Artist' (No:40) | Jean Bennet | Art Therapist & Mixed-Media Artist

Jean combines thread, clay & found objects to make dramatic 3D figurative sculptures based on the theme ‘The Nep of Life’. She works as an art therapist and as a Lecturer in Theraputic Arts at the University of Derby. Jean looks at ‘neps’ or irregularities in life and turns them on their head - from being something that might be uncomfortable into something to accept and embrace. She uses her art to capture ‘imperfections’ or experiences for people she is supporting. Filmed at the Knitting & Stitching Show 2019, Alexandra Palace.
