> Wishing Ceremony

The Wishing Ceremony is an interactive installation by completed in collaboration with the University of Hertfordshire, Leicester City and mac in Birmingham, and with funding from Arts Council England. The project has received wide coverage in the press, including a special Woman's Hour feature broadcast on Radio 4.

The piece consists of six wishing booths in six vivid colours – yellow, orange, magenta, purple, green and blue. A sign on the outside of each booth invites you to step inside and share your wishes and dreams. Inside the booth is a collection of hand-painted wishing tokens which act as inspiration to make a wish. Wishes are made anonymously and as you write your wish you are able to read the dreams of others – this is a place of shared desires.

Over the course of the exhibition, the wishes built up, and were then recorded by Sally once the show closed, preserved as part of the artwork and have now become part of Sally's art blog aRtSVps.
