I'm interested in relationships and how people relate to each other but also how people relate to objects and their environments- context.
Moving away from my initial idea of a kit/guide to interacting with strangers, I have decided to focus more on the relationship between objects and space in my interaction experiments.

PUBLIC ART INSTALLATION SERIES:
The Task- setting up a situation to be creative with a stranger, with an end product so as to achieve a sense of accomplishment - creating a bond.
An interactive art installation using string and mirrors in a public space, that enlists the help of passers by and strangers to help set up and add their own individual creative input into the creation of the intervention.
Mirrors create the illusion of space, and by incorporating them into the design it subconsciously involves people to interact with the installation through inadvertent narcissism. By looking into the mirrors, passers by are interacting with and being apart of the installation if only for a brief moment.
The use of string is to create a hammock/ 'web' structure, a temporary piece of furniture that uses existing structures on site as support, such as trees and lamp posts. That through its construction has evoked social interaction between strangers, and once completed raise peoples awareness of their surroundings and be used as a platform for people to rest on and connect with strangers.
