In her own practice Esther works with paper, glass and ceramics, but she also works extensively with communities and children. She posed the question of why making matters to a group of students at St Patrick's Catholic Primary School in Kentish Town, who expressed their ideas while learning about mark making, text and collage. I love it! If you'd like to see their writing and more closely (recommended!) you can scroll the images here.
