How this work was made and presented

Studio portfolio, dated 2018

An installation completed through visitor contributions

The studio dates Love Is to 2018 and describes visitors writing thoughts on tags, then attaching them to wires around a neon sign. Published dimensions refer to individual components; the overall form adapts to the space and can include a rented structure. Dates, the actual structure and operating responsibilities remain unconfirmed. Supplies and care for accumulated contributions belong in the project brief.

Gallivan Plaza pergola, 2021–22 programme

A pergola adaptation in a civic plaza

THE BLOCKS records Love Is at the Gallivan Plaza pergola as an adaptation of an earlier Burning Man concept. Visitors attached written tags made with upcycled 3form material. This is a specific precedent for using an existing structure rather than assuming that the artwork always arrives with a standalone enclosure.
