LockDown,
2005, features nine sculptures created with prison beds from Kingston Penitentiary for Women; door hardware, air diffusers, office dividers and other objects recycled from government buildings.
LockDown was commissioned as part of an art/recycling initiative utilizing discarded materials provided by Public Works & Government Services Canada and Correctional Service of Canada.
LockDown was exhibited at the Art Gallery of Algoma in May 2005.
Coupled with LockDown was 15 Minutes of Fame - an interactive installation wherein viewers were invited to juxtapose assorted objects with a prison bed to create personal artistic statements.
Where usually a visitor might spend an average of 80 seconds interacting with a work of art, 15 Minutes of Fame succeeded in engaging visitors for up to 30 minutes!
