Lost Found

This work began with the collection of single gloves found abandoned on walks through the city of Liverpool with Janet Farahar. When the total of found gloves reached 200 we decided to produce a work from the dicoveries, and, as what had drawn us to the gloves in the first place was their connection to a missing owner as seen by their size, decoration etc., we wished to play on the idea of the gloves being the traces of a tragic event.
The gloves were displayed as if being examined (in an odd way), and the installation was in an enclosed glass sided room with no access to the public. Dimensions are for the room, and are approximate.
