Remembering Youth | interactive sculpture
6 x 10 x 13 feet variable | cedar, custom foam, upholstery fabric, acrylic yarn | 2010

This is an interactive sculpture that people can manipulate to make their own fort. Large enough in scale to reduce an adult to a child's proportion, it has all the essential components: four chairs, three couch cushions, and an afghan, each modeled after nostalgic objects from my life.

Special thanks to Erin van Wijk for her sewing prowess, Mike Binzer for his constant support and help, Tamara, Brad, Catherine, Kendra, Tahirih, and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, for making this project come to life.
