“I intended on sending a different piece to Dominik for his project Living in a Box, one made in lockdown April last year. But New Zealands courier systems became backlogged when we went into another lockdown a couple of weeks ago. My Swedish gallery Patina sent him another piece.

It’s comforting but also repelling. I wrapped a found plastic bracelet with brown linen, I’m disguising and covering the original piece.” Lisa Walker / September 16, 2021

Yours Dominik
