Make Your Own Body Parts was a workshop devised by renowned Arts Project artist Bronwyn Hack.

Participants were invited to sew a soft sculpture body part of their own, internal or external, sparkly or matte.

As an aural accompaniment in response to Bronwyn’s work, external artist Katherine Botten read an alphabetical acrostic poem, listing her interests.
