Selection of feedback from our Surgery sessions

"It was a great session and I felt I got way beyond what I had expected in terms of feedback and information. I see it as a very professional and necessary intervention at an interesting point in my practice when there are many changes happening, but ones that are hard to make sense of when you are in the middle of them. Whatever point they are at in their ‘career’, artists need this kind of support and advice so they can make the most of what’s out there – thank you both."
N.H. artist/curator

“Thank you so much for your time, it was great to receive guidance and clear, constructive advice and it’s definitely made sense at a core level. Feels like a ‘refresh’. Thanks also for the leads and opportunities lists and follow-up notes.”
S.M. artist

“Discussing my work with professional curators such as Debra and Chiara has been extremely useful to articulate the discourse about my work, made me realize about the potential of my work and helped me to pursue the right opportunities."
G.M. artist

“I was very impressed by the consultancy provided by WW. Having recently moved to London I was feeling quite overwhelmed by the art scene and at a bit of a loss as to the direction I should pursue. Chiara and Debra were friendly, professional and down to earth. They had obviously researched my work beforehand and so were able to give me a long list of useful links and organisations all of which were very relevant to my practice. I left feeling much more optimitstic about my work and feeling the fee was money well-spent.”
T.P. artist

“Thanks so much for all your advice, encouragement and support! All really crucial info and good to know, it will change my world! Feel so much better about it all today – thanks a million!”
J.R. gallery director
