"I'm just passing through while wearing me myself and I!"
(In conjunction with Occupation Artist No filter project April 2018)
This project is about taking my work out of its native gallery in Northland Julia Reinholt Contemporary Art gallery (see Old tarts brigade) and passing it, and new works (see below) though the urban landscape for three hours. The project is about challenging me and my works in this unfamiliar environment, and seeing how my behaviour and emotions surrounding the relationship I have with my work are redefined, and asking if my work will still resonate its elegant accuracy outside of the white box of the gallery. This project will create a new awareness of me as a maker. Can new works be created from these experiences? There is no direct path I'm following, only aimless drifting produced by an unfamiliar city in order to create synchronicity. Documented on Instagram fran.leitch and right here!
