It's funny how working on a project can make you get on with things you've put off in your personal life for weeks, months or even years. Finally I have joined Hackney's Freecycle, and far from the deluge of unwanted emails I'd expected it to be, to date it's been a rather fruitful and interesting experience!
I've joined as we're about to start what commissioners would call our first 'artists' intervention' (a term I loath & in fact it just means we're about to do something) on the Abbey Gardens site by actually leaving some ground untouched. The idea is to cordon off an area (the same shape as the ruined remains) and protect it from the wild flower seeds about to go down over the rest of the site. We're interested to see by doing this what comes up from the existing seed bank ...
I thought I'd already sourced the wood we need to mark out the area but on a second visit it's much bigger than I thought!
