My Name Is Scot
Subtly alluding to the chaos of street sweeps, dismantled tent-cities, or a half- struck Hollywood North film set, the work also provides actual, intimate spaces or scenarios for contemplating of the complexities of being invisible, witnessed, or scripted by the judgments of others within
public space.

Finding themselves surrounded by the material, spatial, temporal or virtual rejectamenta of the DTES neighbourhood, viewers may consider their own presence, and the behaviours, intentions and ideas that they use to daily navigate the real and imagined (or sometimes, unimaginable) world around them. A world where poverty, politics and the practicalities of staying alive, increasingly make personal space a contested state.

The installation to engages the viewer in an experiential consideration of the actions, forces and feelings that define or deny our sense of place in the world. Viewers  are asked to recognize and re-examine the connections between local disenfranchisement and global displacement.
