Emily Priest A small world
Proposal
Here, above the drinking fountain in Western Park dangles a small world. It’s a place of delicately woven, intricate systems - our tiny space. ‘A small world’ is a part of an ongoing environmental project seeking to bring about public awareness of plastic in our waterways. This piece aspires to capture our undeniable connection to the small and fragile world we live in. Building on previous installations at Art in the Dark, a small world wishes to fully integrate itself within a set of illuminated transparent worlds.]
