TO COPENHAGEN
JANUARY - MAY 2012
I am a participating artist in the Living Copenhagen program run by The School of Critical Engagement. This is a part of a wider program of urban renewal in Sankt Kjelds Kvarter. For sixteen weeks from January to May we are working in the area and living on the top floor of the Kollektivhuset, in the Østerbro Neighbourhood.
THIS will document the project.

AS LONG AS IT LASTS
Blind embossed cartridge paper, gold leaf, mdf
Exhibited in a 24 hour exhibition: ‘Savorr 4’, Stew Gallery, Norwich.
Accompanying text:
How do we relate to the space around us, these spaces of our lived experience, the sites and interiors of our days and words? Words can shape physical spaces and stretch beyond them. How we read and receive language can shape its meaning, words are released from their moorings in syntax and order.
This process can be disturbed and uprooted through the collision of word and image, and our role is in flux between reader and viewer. This liminal space sits in a stretched space on the page, a site of shifting register for as long as it lasts.

IN THE TIME BEING
An installation on the top floor of the gallery, which is an old three storey space above Wholesome grocers. Text on tracing paper is pinned on the wall at the foot of the stairs leads up to a darkened room, a camera obscura in the window projects an upside down image of the city outside in real-time onto the walls of the room. The sun tracks across the walls, a flag flutters, clouds scud past, the city clock tower is framed by words painted directly on the wall, ‘In the time being,’.
Exhibited in ‘Savorr 3’, Wholesome, Norwich.

LOOKING OUT
Resource at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts.
I designed and produced an interpretative resource for the current interactive resource area, ‘Seeing Differently’.
The resource consists of different masks derived from ones in the permanent collection, made out of mdf and card, the eye holes echo that of the original object.
The aim is to explore the individuality of sight and perceptive reality; how we see and how this in turn affects our experience of our environment. The individual masks encourage people to inhabit the life of an object and to prompt an imaginative journey.
