Me and AI….dreaming of somewhere whilst travelling elsewhere
THE INVISiBLE IS EVERYWHERE; Somewhere, Elsewhere
Concentrating over Melbourne’s lockdowns was hard. Invisible threats besieged Everywhere, Somewhere, Elsewhere, whether Covid or conditions causing catastrophic weather events. I yearned to make tactile works in a world on hyper alert in which touching had become dangerous for fear of infection, I needed to sew up my unravelling world and secure it with with hi-vis BEWARE/EMERGENCY tape.
Materials were hard to source. I used what I had or found whilst out walking my 5 ks, eg. discarded soccer flags and tradies’ hi-vis shirts. I reworked parts of the banners as the lockdowns eased and materials became more accessible again.
