Contribution to Borrow a Brick for Contact Listening by Joy Zhou

Borrow a Brick for Contact Listening is a program produced and curated by artist Joy Zhou. 

Joy invited Justine Walsh, Ceri Hann, and myself to each create one walking tour in response to the prompt: 'Listen'

I responded to this prompt by creating a walking tour that heavily relied on ✨numbers✨

First, we held a community activation inviting members of the Abbotsford Convent to count the number of small repeating patterns on objects around the Abbotsford Convent, like the number of grains on a plank of wood, the number of alphabets on the 'Thank You to our Supporters' board, and the number of dots on a patterned window pane.

Then, we linked these numbers to very useful random facts.

For example...

Did you know that there are 892 pebbles on this tile we are pointing at
