I've been thinking about a work that is about the gallery/degree show space walls - or the chipboard that gets put up in the uni spaces and becomes the wall once it's sanded and painted up all nice. The wall provides a backdrop for contemplation of works, it frames them as works to be contemplated, it lays claim on work as work.
I want to make a work that is made out of the same stuff that the wall is made from, and that rests on the wall physically. My work would lie on the wall, and the wall would claim it as its own.
There will probably be some knitting involved.
