Certain moments make all the hardwork worthwhile and for us this is one of them. It's been a tough 2 years working on the @wearewillow #ADifferentLight collaboration with #ManchesterMind. A period of time that has challenged and enlightened me along with teaching me about human nature and how complex we all are as individuals. After launching the project @homemcr on #WorldMentalHealthDay we arranged a flash mob of @chorusofothers - who feature on the album & one of the fils - throughout the day during @manchesterprintfair part of @designmcr @whitworthart. We're incredibly glad to have been given the opportunity to work with these guys. Full of enthusiasm and positivity highlighting that support for one another comes through unity and solidarity - which can overcome even the lowest moments we might face. A huge thankyou to all the artists, supporting partners, friends and family who helped make this work a reality. Watch this space there's more to come Chris ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/BpOvHhKHQwA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16dlvu0ox2bql

A couple of stills from the film by @dannycheetham for our project #ADifferentLight in collaboration with #ManchesterMind. Each film allows a real insight into the varying perspectives and approaches to the topic of male mental health. This work along with the 3 other commissions will be showing in gallery 5 @manchesterprintfair this Saturday @whitworthart, along with a special live piece from @chorusofothers. We'll also have some of our gift boxes available to purchase featuring our mini head sculptures and lapel badge - the icon for the work. All for a great cause! https://www.instagram.com/p/BpEeaJzHjxd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ll7co0qm7dvw
