Lisa F exchange
Lisa chose ‘193:5790’ which equated to 3 hours and 40 minutes of making time. Lisa is a contemporary jewellery and object maker who works with the detritus of society. We decided she would weave a basket out of packing tape



Correspondence used for the artwork ‘Many Hands: A year of exchanges and stories’

Hi L, How’s things?! I’ve attached a couple of pics of the ones that I think you were interested in. Already have a couple of people involved who aren’t Sydney based and I just ask that anyone doing this remotely take a pic of their hands doing the type of exchange as well as keep a log of the minutes as this may be used in the final exhibition. You’ll also need to take a pic of your hands holding the final exchanged object – B 

Hi B,Things are super amazing!This project is so great! I love the 2nd pic. am just brainstorming what I can do for the exchange.

Thoughts so far are; a packing tape woven basket, a horse hair basket with cotton,  a brooch, earrings, I’ll try to think of more! – L

Hi L, Hope you’re well. I’m just chasing up the last of the exchanges. How are you going with yours? I’d like to have them wrapped up by end of June. Look forward to hearing from you. -B

Hi B, just about to get on to it – i have all the materials ready!Its been on hold for a bit as I had a miscarriage and haven’t wanted to make the basket with sad emotional vibes.  I will definately get it to you before  end of june. Hope your’re well and amazing! L

So sorry to hear. Yes, it’s not great when that happens. Hope you’re picking up a bit now. B

Hi B, Hope you’re well. What’s the best address to send this basket to? L

Hi B, I sent my little weaved basket over to you today. It’s made out of used packing tape that was from a factory where my friend worked. Weaved with good vibes – hope you like it! L

Hi L,Thank you! Will keep an eye out for it. What is best address to post yours to? When you get it, can you please take a pic, using a flat bit of white paper or card (like image attached) of your hands holding the basket and email it back to me? B

Hi B,Here are the times,

The base – 40 min

The walls – 1:40 min
