My previous work has been about setting up situations where the audience can interact both with one another and the artwork itself. I have always been intrigued by the complexity of relationships between people and as an individual I find it hard to approach strangers, however within the frameworks of an art space I find that my own and others inhibitions seem to temporarily disappear as one becomes consumed by the art works.
Bread Cart was a piece proposed for Royal William Yard and takes the metaphor of the ancient Roman Forum into the 21st Century to create a place of debate and interaction, within a beautiful physical space. My aim for this piece was to evoke conversations on community and what that means to each individual.
Bread Cart's aim was to enhance community and increase the communication between the people and business that reside at Royal William Yard.
Within this piece i used food as a universal language to get people to engage with what was going on, and the pony pulling the cart also added to the appeal of passers by.
Bread Cart involved participants in a social process and research, creating visions for the future of their Royal William Yard.
