This is a website specifically for my research during my MA in Fine Art, which I'm studying part-time at Bath Spa University, Bath, UK.
'Lou Baker makes public things that are normally private. She is both a maker and a facilitator. Her work provokes a range of conflicting responses; attraction, repulsion, horror and hilarity. Some aspects of her practice investigate the transformation of materials and, increasingly, some focus on social engagement. Making intellectual connections between material, process and concept, her work has a confessional element, as personal memories resonate with universal themes. Stimulating conversations with her audience through performative actions, she facilitates opportunities for the viewer to become an active participant, to find a voice. Her works are provocations – often interactive, collaborative and participatory.'
For more information about my practice, see my website and follow me @loubakerartist on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. I also have an Instagram account specifically for my Living sculptures and also for my socially engaged and participatory work so follow me there too if you're interested.
