Tuesday 26th February



Hi, I just want to update you on how my site specific work is going. I have now finished all 12 objects for the Westgate Gardens:













I am planning to hide them before the exhibition, either Sun 10th March after the trip to Cologne, or the next weekend Sat 16th/Sun 17th March. I can then use the documenting photographs in the final exhibition, and can also use the exhibition as a means of promoting the  hidden paintings I will do in the Dane John Gardens afterwards.

After thinking even more about how it is all going to work, I have decided to create a blog specifically for my miniature paintings. The blog address will be written an red paper and attached to the back of or underneath the objects. The finders can then look at the blog and find more information about the project and see photos of all the objects hidden in the Gardens. There is going to be a little verse linked to each object which they can read too. I think this ties in well with Nadja’s Tarot reading cards and the idea of a hidden message/meaning. I will distribute flyers and put up posters to inform the public of the project so they can search for them, but I would also like people to stumble across them unexpectedly.
The idea is that whoever finds an object will get to keep it if they email me a photo of them with it and any thoughts or feelings they might have. This will make the project more interactive. 


I will let you know the blog address on my next post!
