STATEMENT
We construct identities, roles and places in order to locate ourselves, and to create the illusion of stability, but we encounter the world around us transitively. With the increased pace of life and apparent ease of global travel, are we all simply becoming tourists, and if so, how can a dialogue with the local and the seemingly every day be encouraged? Exploring notions of ‘place’, our many and varied relationships with space, and the objects we surround ourselves with, Victoria Foster investigates how art can influence and encourage the viewer to engage with their surroundings.
