I Wish

Since 2013 I have offered participants the chance to communicate a wish to me and in response I make a talisman or charm to help give them the good luck to achieve it. The experience is about fantasy, articulating what you want and giving it a visual or tangible form. It is 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 is also about having a small reminder of hope when things are difficult. The film I Wish won a Deptford X 2014 Prize and was initiated at Deptford X 2013. I am continuing to hear wishes in my studio by application. www.iwishdeptfordx.blogspot.co.uk
