ReSEARCH AND ARTIST RESIDENCY
Tokyo Wondersite
Tokyo Arts and Space 2011 | Exchange Residency Program
What is it that makes one object something you want to cherish and another, something you want to throw away? Through my previous work I have brought people together through objects and making, placing emphasis on participation and ‘practical knowledge’ as form of practice. We live in a world of objects made by machine and hand, what makes ‘speaking objects’.
The Love of Objects: Bring people of all ages together around objects to talk, think and ‘open up’ what makes an object special to them.
