Ways & Means is an exhibition selected out of 185 applications from 33 different countries curated by Claire Undy, Skelf. The artworks chosen reflect in different ways upon a unique time in all of our lives. Many artists have been without their studios, materials, collaborators, or the time, space and funds to make work as they have in the past. However, out of these challenges, fresh approaches and new ways of working have emerged. Ways & Means presents a range of these new approaches in an exhibition of work made during the Coronavirus pandemic.

The online platform has allowed Skelf to exhibit artists from all around the world, and Ways & Means reflects a range of experiences that capture something of the global phenomenon we all find ourselves in. As most of our interaction with others has moved online, many of the pieces have focussed on conveying a sense of touch, or a bodily engagement with objects and artworks, as we attempt to capture what we miss through a screen.
