Hide #1 (Beach)

Gabrielle Hoad | Hide #1 (Beach) | 2015 | Textile sculpture, action and documentation

Building on my interest in animal surveillance and the way scientific knowledge is constructed, I have been working with the idea of the hide, a camouflaged structure that seeks to efface the presence of the human observer and encourage 'natural' behaviour in those observed. A digital image was made at the site, printed on fabric and returned to its source in the form of a hat.
