Hidden Truth
I started this project back in 2013 and have mainly toured Dumfries and Galloway with her, the best locations being cafes. For example, I've taken her to Designs in Castle Douglas, Loch Arthur Cafe at Bees Wing, to the Yellow Door Gallery on Queen Street in Dumfries, and even to Venice.
I asked people to anonymously tell me a truth, a lie or a secret, about themselves, to write this on a postcard, and post it through one of the slots in my sculpture.
I've put 6 replies below, from the hundred's I've received. Keep flicking for a few of the pictorial ones. The books really are worth a read.
- I miss my daughter so much I hope one day soon we will be close, and all the scars will be healed. (Truth)
- I feed my neighbours cats in the hope they will one day choose to live with me. (Secret)
- Woops! Sorry – but I drove out of a tight car park space and managed to scrape and flatten the whole of another car. I didn’t stop and am forever sorry! (Truth/secret)
- I am not human. The mothership left me here. (Truth)
- The easier it is to find sex, the harder it is to find love. (Truth)
