Green sales rack rests on a street tree in a former incarnation…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I found this green sales rack back in March, as I was heading to my local cafe to have lunch with a friend, which turned out to be our last lunch before lockdown. I remember talking to her about the rack over lunch, (and the potential impending lockdown too of course) deciding if I was going to pick it up or not. It’s clearly a little bigger than the steel flotsam I usually pocket so I wasn’t too sure if it would be a worthwhile find. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we were done she offered me a ride home, but I said no, as I wanted to walk past the green rack again. That’s when I took this photo and a couple of others, put away my phone, picked up the rack and marched it to my front porch. There it lived for a couple of months before I had the time and headspace to think about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would you do with an apple green sales rack that had clearly seen better days? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since most of you can’t go to Bridget Kennedy Project Space<\/a> to find out you can check out her website<\/a>. But if you wanna see me tell the tale, you can hang out with me for the rest of this week as I find and share a few ‘making-of’ images, before I wave you through to the the BKPS<\/a> site for the full reveal. Hell, do both, or neither – choose your own adventure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, you’re really in luck if you do<\/em> happen to be in Sydney. The IRL show opens this week and you get to do what I promised I’d be able to (in an over-optimistic moment in June) but can’t – go see the show in person:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
