Rubbing out has been co-created by Andrea Carr and Gemma Riggs

Andrea Carr is an artist, eco-designer, facilitator and Ecostage co-founder. Her widely exhibited designs bring vitality to eco-topics. Her work is informed by studying Process Work and the flow of processes, individual and collective dynamics.

Gemma Riggs is an artist and filmmaker working across video, installation, photography and sound. Her work explores intensities of experience and the intangible; how we translate emotion and experience through word, vocal utterance, body and gesture.
