Evidence bag 3 ready for sending out in the post as part of my 'Slowpost' project.
The discarded boot acts as a metaphor speaking of our place in the landscape; sometimes we want to be part of it, other times we just don't seem to care.

Another 'evidence bag' ready to post out via Royal Mail as part of my 'Slowpost' project.
This work reflects a walk started through a graveyard and landing up in the centre of Nottingham, thinking about the past linking with our present.

'This Is [Live…?] Two Hundred V/m.' N.Gear © 2014.
A new year a new project called 'Slowpost'. I'm creating 'Evidence Bags' from completed walks talking of place, and how we are linked to and affect the environment.
Each bag when completed is send out via Royal Mail to a recipient who is invited to display the piece at home as a work of art for a few days / weeks / months before passing it onto a friend. 
As part the project the recipients can join in the conversation via Facebook to upload photos of the bag in situ as well as any other comments & reactions.
If you'd like to join in then email nick@artofgear.co.uk with your address to post a bag to.
