Made as part of a collaborative PhD with Hammersmith United Charities, the following three works, explore art and need in a variety of contexts. Converging at St. Paul's Centre in Hammersmith Friday, 6th of July 2018, the works were also shown at Westfield Shopping Centre, Ravenswood Park 'Unity Day' and Lyric Square's Summer Series, 2018.

This series of moving images layers Hammersmith locals with their own artwork and/or artwork they have chosen to place in their homes. The portraits also share responses to a question Carolyn asked about what art people would make if they had all the skills and resources they needed.
These portraits will be shown around Hammersmith throughout summer 2018, including on the Lyric Square screen and at Westfield Shopping Centre.
