I am so excited to share images of this project with you all! This Garbage Can Cozy and Bench Cozy were created as part of Umbrella Projects in Sackville, NB: a joint venture between Struts Gallery and the Owens Art Gallery at Mount Allison University aimed at helping artists to realize their dream projects during the pandemic.
These custom knitted cozies were installed on existing infrastructure in a public park in Sackville and were fully put to use during the one month install period. The seat of the bench was cushioned with a pad I made from plastic packaging waste and clear PVC. My goal with this project was to insert some visual excitement and laboured care into a situation that is usually so standardized and lacking of either. Hopefully more of these installations can come to fruition in the future... stay tuned!
