'Traces' for Migration


So, in response to the theme 'human interaction with the natural environment', last Tuesday I swept the lakeside walk for litter. So few human traces are left here to litter the landscape. Findings were shredded and encased in this box.

Most of the works are now in situ, and the opening of Migration is tomorrow afternoon. So fingers crossed everything will be in place by then.
Exhibiting in an outdoor, semi-public space has certainly been testing. A learning curve. Not only are the natural elements fighting against the work as hard as they can, but vandals have had a go as well! Trying not to get stressed with it, and attempting to think of them as 'unexpected collaborators'.

Fingers crossed for sunshine this week!
