Lynn Setterington developed this work for World Aids Day.

The piece was constructed through many workshops around Manchester and presented in the People's History Museum.

It was my job to collect and distribute the advertising for this exhibition. I learnt where in Manchester had free advertising space, which were the most appropriate and which would generate the most audience.

The advertising also had to stand out as there was a lot of other people doing the same as I was.

I was also asked to find any other artists who might be able to contribute. I asked Helena Edwards, who I met at the Lymm Festival, and she contributed these hand knitted squares and bracelets in red & white.

They were promoting a charity called KasCare who ask for donated knitted squares and attach them together to create blankets for orphans with aids in South Africa.
