Emily Speed's Work Makes Works Project

Artist Emily Speed has started a new project which aims to make evident the way that artists work makes more work - and how careers develop, and how things within the art world are connected.
I joined in, as back in 2008 I went on an A-N trip to Lille (documented on this blog) and it turned out to be quite important in making some wonderful connections and leading to a number of projects. I met Emily on that trip.
I created this diagram to show the connections.
I also created another diagram to show the relationship which developed with Longhouse, the programme of artist development which was delivered by Multistory (sadly no longer in existence) but I hope this diagram shows how something small can lead to something big.
There are a lot of interesting diagrams being sent in by various artists, and I think it really shows the very different journeys and strategies that artists take. A great project, Emily!
