> ARTDNA
> 2008
> ARTDNA, like the Wishing Ceremony, was situated
in a busy public space. ARTDNA is a large green booth
which invites members of the public to enter and
interact. The space has been created so that
individuals can share facts and details about their
family history. Viewers were asked to participate by
simply writing any fact about their family on one of
the spaces provided. Interaction and participation
are central to Sally’s work and over 4,000 people
interacted with ARTDNA.

> ANNOUNCEMENTS
> 2006
> ANNOUNCEMENTS This commission consists of 50
pieces. Each piece contains a painting, text and
Perspex. The text was developed by the South and East
Belfast Trust and relates to issues and thoughts
concerning the staff and users of the facility. The
pieces are placed throughout the building in hidden
places, often higher and lower than normal - little
unexpected pleasures.Learn

> ARTKACINA
> 2006
> ARTKACINA was created to celebrate the
experiences and achievements of Firstsite. Artkacina
draws on Sally’s interests in mythology, community
and storytelling. After visiting the gallery, Sally
was inspired to create a work that would capture the
vitality, energy and spirit of Firstsite’s last
eleven years. Sheinman has created 544 artkacina –
referencing ‘kachina’; native American dolls
traditionally used to teach children about characters
from Hopi Indian mythology. The intricately painted
hand-held sculptures are accompanied by words which
are all inspired by irstsite.Learn
