She was born in Ireland and is based in Glasgow. Audrey is a creative\u00a0Toolmaker. Her sensory tools provoke ways to link, explore and understand all living beings. These produce\u00a0interactive artworks connecting people and objects and spaces. Much of Audrey\u2019s work is in partnership and collaboration which excites and sustains new discoveries.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">Early influences on Audrey\u2019s community-based work emerged from her background of employment in social care, and through obtaining an MPhil in Art and Design in Organisational Context (2003) at the Glasgow School of Art. Since then, Audrey has developed her practice through peer learning, including through Engage Scotland and the School of Civic Imagination and Scottish Artist Union Learning programme.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 21px;\"><span class=\"s1\">Audrey&#8217;s practice is influenced by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sea-projects.org.uk\/b\/?nor-projects=dada\">Dada<\/a> art movement.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">Audrey: \u201cI am neurodivergent.
