 Artists tell us things about ourselves and see connections in things that a lot of us don't see. My name is Chris Floyd. I'm a photographer and I've just spent two weeks photographing 13 artists for the National Lottery. People have spent their time during the pandemic transforming their communities through the power of art. The power of art is that it can connect people on a level that so many things cannot. I've seen how it can really transform lives. There was one young student and she never knew the link of the Islamic civilization and mathematics and geometry pattern. For her it was a sense of belonging that was about her heritage. It's just so wonderful to think when people go out and buy the lottery ticket, some of that is coming up to us. Writing poetry as a group, I imagine it's like jamming with a whole load of friends. The words are sort of flying around and we're just catching them in the air. And that's what art is after all, is giving things to people that they didn't know they needed or wanted. But when it's presented to them, they realise how much it expands and improves the world and the life that they live.
