shop window
documentation of 'shop window exhibition, nottingham december 2005.
i am really interested in how context alters a piece of art and vice versa. i use the same group of objects within my installations, bringing in others found on site. the expectations and connotations brought to the piece are very different depending on the situation eg: a gallery, shop or outdoors. with this ongoing set of work i am interested in how this affects the reading of the piece.
* this piece was constructed in an empty shop window for one day. i am increasingly interested in multi-sited projects, like dropping parts of a story all over the city.
