Deptford X 2013
"For Deptford X 2013 I asked participants to communicate a wish to me and I made talisman or charm to help give the good luck to achieve it. It was a project about fantasy, articulating what you want and giving it a visual or tangible form. It was reminiscent of the Bolivian annual fair Alasitas where everything is made in miniature and you buy what you want for the coming year, but in a tiny form. It was also about having a small reminder of hope when things are difficult.
I was available to hear wishes during my Open Studios weekend at APT (27-30 September 2013) at the start of the Deptford X Festival. People visited me in my studio to secretly tell me a wish, I then gave them a card with their number. During the following week I made objects and took photographs of them. The physical results could be seen and collected by appointment at APT on Sunday 6th October, and I tweeted and posted photographs daily on this site with the person involved anonymous and the wish secret."
