D-I-Y Shelters for the Wasteland Habitat! (2023)

Project type

Art Installation

Date

July 2023

Location

Anna Leonowens Gallery, NSCAD University, Kjipuktuk/Halifax, NS

A collaborative project with Lachlan Sheldrick. D-I-Y Shelters for the Wasteland Habitat! was a fort built from scavenged materials and exhibited in the Anna Leonowens Gallery at NSCAD University in Kjipuktuk/Halifax, NS.
We invited viewers to "come in out of the cold" and join us in our protective shelter. Guests were offered tea (for warmth). Lachlan and I wore Dollarama-hazmat suits to "protect us from the elements".
