The living room

Using the Victorian shelter of the promenade, Alice produced contemporary portraits of tourists who have sat at the shelter. The portraits were produced in textiles, by drawing into fabric with material and thread. These portraits were returned to the shelter in the form of cushions constructing an outdoor living room invoking a trace of recent visitors to the site. Portrait cushions were placed in the shelter as a performance each morning during the week of Interaction. During the week, The Living Room became a site for debate and discussion about contemporary public art.
