University of Worcester   2006/2007

Jane Aston

For the AA2A project I have been focusing on my car, a 1963 Morris Traveller, and its potential as a flexible exhibition space. There is a lot of mileage for dialogical work in cars, conversations on social history, design, and connections between time, place and people. My car is an instigator of dialogue and a catalyst to nostalgia.

During AA2A I have been traveling around the lanes of Worcestershire encountering these incidental meetings which involve the unpacking of personal histories and reveal life stories. This looking and traveling has become pivotal in how I have begun to produce new artworks.
