Fabricated explores both traditional and contemporary notions of leisure. Reminiscent of a childhood ‘paint-by-numbers’, Fabricated embraces the principles of plein air painting by providing a canvas with a view to capturing the elusive atmosphere of an ever-changing landscape, as a slow, methodical needlework scene. Here the public are encouraged to contribute to the social fabric.
