Dislocation
a java based moving text work. 2000.
Dislocation was made for Flock a culture for peace, a net based
project 'curated' by Linda Carroli. Twelve artists participated
in the project by contributing a work which addressed the 'culture
of peace' - personal or political, global or local ... this work is
appropriate for the peace theme - after all, one of the UNESCO pledges
for a culture of peace is about respect and dignity for all.
Dislocation was made in response to my work with people experiencing
disabilities and my own experiences in trying to access the built,
social and political environments. Sometimes trying to communicate
the sense of dislocation that you feel when you attempt to negotiate
'space' made for 'the able' becomes overpowering and words fail.
