In the 'Skills Through Gills' project with Creative Briefs, learning disabled students at FIND Charity in East Yorkshire have been involved in creating pieces of art, with the aim of holding a public exhibition. The artworks are based on Hull's architectural landscape, maritime history, and the question 'what does Hull mean to you?'Staff at FIND explain what is involved, and the impact it's having on the participating students.Further information about this project and Creative Briefs company:http://www.creativebriefs.co.uk/skills#design #learningdisability

Lou's latest exhibition, showing at HIP Gallery as part of Hull International Photography Festival, explores the very boundaries of the photographic image.
