> ARTDNA

> 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.

> ARTNAOS

> ARTNAOS was an interactive work by Sally Sheinman. The piece consisted of a brightly painted wooden cubicle, it was a contemplative private space for one person to enter and spend quite time alone. With space outside to write – and symbolically divest oneself of – worries, the structure was envisaged as a ritual chamber which participants can enter, drawing strength and nurturing within for their personal healing. Inspired by religious and psychotherapeutic practices, the work echoes the idea of the holy shrines located within ancient Egyptian and Classical Greek temples which were believed to house the gods.Learn More...
