“Packing/Unpacking” (in progress) piece performed by T. Tsegmid, photographed by Heather Rogers, Ilkley. 2008
Dear All,
I am proposing a new public art piece which you might find interesting. As you can gather from the title, the piece is about mother. Yes, it is not that challenging and shocking contemporary art works you encounter too often. The piece is a celebration of my mama and tribute to that endless flow of words of love she sends me. Yes, it is very sentimental theme, but I believe this is my chance to fulfill her dream and create an English garden with full of white roses for her. Although, the piece might appear subjective and personal, it is about the person we feel most grateful for.
I am an artist from (Outer) Mongolia, a research student at LeedsMet University specialsing in practice-led contemporary art practice. Since 2004, I’ve been living in Leeds and the city is my second home. In this particular project, I’ve decided to shy away from conventional art spaces such as; gallery or purpose built exhibition space because I want to reach out to wider audience. Ideally, I want to install this piece in a non-gallery environment where people feel comfortable and accessible.
I am planning to find a space and install this piece around mid-March and I will be adding more information about the project on this website. Particularly, the project is not-funded and will solely rely on a help and support from Yorkshire people and local businesses. I’ve already told about my idea to my supervisors (Asa Andersson and Liz Stirling) at LeedsMet Art School and they are encouraging me to carry out this project as it is very different from projects which I’ve been previously engaged with.
Feel free contact me on TSTSendee@yahoo.com, if you want to support me in some way. You could donate a white rose or just show up and help me to create my garden. More information to come shortly.
Thanks in advance,
Tsendpurev (known as Cindy) Tsegmid
