Diana Burgoyne and Raewyn Turner

Welcome! Following on from our 1st collaborative project ReSense which we developed at BNMI - Banff Centre for the Arts, we've created a new work called FLAP, detailing our process and investigations of both works here.

Both works were installed at MiC Toi Rerehiko 3 September - 8 October 2010, and the exhibition was called ReSense.

Our conversation revolved around whether we could create a work using both the synthetic smells of nature and authentic human smell, and whether the smells from our respective countries would differ.

We isolated the worn socks safely away from contamination in glass jars.

Diana created mechanisms to periodically open the lids of the jars to release their fragrance.















We installed 50 glass jars on glass shelves. Against one
wall 25 jars held work socks from Canadians, and on the
opposite  wall 25 jars held worn socks form 25 New Zealanders.





















Diana added fans in the jars that would help to disperse the fragrance of the socks.








 
The viewers's shadow activates the lid mechanisms.
