"Along country lanes and urban cross-roads, an itinerant apprentice offers ideas and articles of all sorts traditional and revolutionary, abundantly crafted in exchange for skillful demonstrations and sociable company.
Notion Nanny is a collaborative touring project in which Allison Smith takes on the role of an itinerant apprentice traveling through rural and urban districts in search of traditional skills and revolutionary dialogue. Through a series of residencies and exchanges, Smith builds a temporary guild, a platform for discussion, and a sculptural installation, which together form the basis for a cumulative traveling exhibition making stops in Cumbria, London, Shropshire, and eventually, the United States."(Text by B+B)

I was the curatorial assistant for Notion Nanny and also took part in the Notion Nanny Tea Party at Studio Voltaire, where I offered to embroider positive memories onto plasters to heal bad ones.
