How Art Works

Chloe Watfern joined two world-leading supported studios to learn about the work of their vibrant collectives of neurodiverse artists - Studio A in Sydney and Project Art Works in England. This book is written as a personal narrative informed by the latest thinking on neurodiversity and art, where Watfern tells a tender and exhilarating story of the social and aesthetic dynamics at Studio A and Project Art Works, places like no other. In journeying alongside the complex and astonishing contemporary artists who work there, the book invites readers to radically reconsider their settled ideas of creativity, disability, and care, while learning about lives devoted to making.
