Meet the Time to Connect Artists

Inspire are delighted to have worked with visual artists Mandy Keating, Tracey Meek, sculptor Chris Campbell and photographer Alistair Morrison for The Big Draw 2023: Time to Connect project.

Mandy Keating

Mandy Keating is a Visual Artist who enjoys using paper-based materials to create 2D and 3D collages and digital art, reusing or reimagining found objects or discarded materials and through her socially engaged practice collaborating with people to find new ways to tell a story visually, whether heritage, social history or pure fiction. Her own art gives audiences the chance to immerse themselves in the story she tells, to smile, to enjoy, to be curious.

Tracey Meek

Tracey Meek worked with a range of mediums; painting, ceramics and immersive installation. Her work was intuitive in process and content, a tactile extension of herself and reﬂection of surroundings.

With a playful, experimental approach that translates into community engagement. Tracey found new interesting ways of sharing creative process through interaction and intervention.

In memory of Tracey Meek, whose work brought joy and inspiration to our Big Draw 2023: Drawing with Senses project. Tracey’s playful and creative approach left a lasting impact on the people she worked with, sparking their imagination and creativity. Her legacy will live on in the memories and creations of those she inspired.
The Time to Connect trail, which Tracey's work contributed to, will continue to bring people closer to art, heritage, nature, and their local landscapes for years to come.
