GIFTwrap
The Art Gallery of Hamilton (2002)

Curated by Shirley Madill

This public intervention sited around the city of Hamilton consisted of two sets of large-scale letters that spelled the word "gift." The letters were made from an artist-designed wallpaper based on textual information about some of the 1950's era paintings found in the Gallery's collection. Viewers were invited to come to the gallery gift shop to claim a free piece of the wallpaper/gift wrap.
