Ullappa Art Symposium and Festival, Turku Cultural Centre in Turku, Finland, 1997
As part of this international visual art symposium and festival, artists were invited to create new works during a two-week residency, with the final pieces being exhibited in the Just Gallery at the Turku Cultural Center.
Walter purchased men’s white-collared shirts from local thrift shops, then tore out the seams and reconfigured the pieces. She basted these pieces together into the form of a tent, hand-stitching for two days in the public square in front of the Cultural Center. The final form was stitched together by machine in the studio for exhibition in the gallery.
