Ōtepoti/Dunedin is known for its heritage buildings boasting an array of architecture spanning many eras which illustrates the city’s rich past.
Inspired by archivist David Murray’s blog “Built in Dunedin” Jess Covell has created a series of fibre art pieces that looks at 4 sites within Ōtepoti/Dunedin, connecting past and present; a well known research Library, archive and gallery that used to be a dairy factory, an iconic fashion store that used to be a cake shop, a bicycle repair store that once was a grinding, sifting, cleaning and mixer plant for treating coffee, spices and teas, and the drapery store responsible for bringing the first papercut patterns into Aotearoa/New Zealand.
Pieces will be placed outside the different sites, and left for the public to react and engage.
Will you notice it? Will you stop? Will you touch it? Will you walk on it?
