Makeshift and Nobody
PROJECT: THE HANGING GARDENS AND OTHER TALES
A site-specific installation made up of pot plants on loan from local residents. Each plant will be accompanied by a letter of introduction from its owner, bringing audiences a little closer to these often-overlooked neighbours. Examining how public places can become catalysts for dialogue and exchange. Being locals who have watched the area around CarriageWorks change over time, these artists are intrigued by the possibility of scratching the surface of this site to reveal something of its past or less visible lives.
