Why do you want to participate in this project?
I am interested in how space and environment influence the way we act and behave. The idea of isolation is sometimes something we crave for in a hectic ‘Big Brother’, ‘Facebook’ society. Using this idea as a point of departure, I would like to contradict the concept of being on display by creating my own escape – a retreat – through a sculptural intervention. Gradually building a protective cocoon for myself, I will slowly obscure myself from the viewer’s perspective. I would like to approach this situation as a further challenge for myself, by using it as an artistic sanctuary where I will have a chance to create and produce art - something I have found challenging since graduating from university last year. My nest will be a temporary dwelling where I will have the artistic freedom (through my isolation) to respond to the environment, experience and the material given to me.

I'm loving watching the 5 minute archive of each day. Where is this in Nexus? Are the passers by random or are they Nexus patrons? I especially like the way the sun moves across the wall (I assume its sunlight but it could just be a fancy light!)
me too. We were in the cafe today with people from sanctus and it was so busy. I think each person is being really brave as it is so public. Clare R was great today with everyone waving at her and staring. thought she did a really good job.
