DARTER

DARTER is Chloe Cooper, Louisa Martin and Phoebe Davies. DARTER make art in response to particular social contexts.

About:

Her practice is defined by its location and context. She works in response to and in collaboration with individuals and communities, investigating and exploring how people perceive their social framework.
