Remembered, Heard, Fictionalized, Drawing IN, OUT, OF Belfast is the result of eighteen months of research and practice in Belfast City as part of a Masters in Art in Public in University of Ulster. Within the work the artist is an observer, a performer and a storyteller. Using a Collins Street-finder map to decide where she goes. Purposely not getting involved along the way, taking an anthropological approach. Identifying how it is she looks at a place while designing ways to record and respond. The responses take the form of drawings with fabric and tape. These shapes and patterns play with Bunting that is seen throughout Belfast in the summer months. In this work the bunting is used to circle and highlight places and features. Information is collected that when put together and played with will create an image of Belfast made up of many places. This image is a recreation of an experience of Belfast and will be located in PS2 for others to see and get involved in. Retelling a story of Belfast.
