Running Stitch is a 25sq/m tapestry map, created live in the gallery over four weeks, that charts visitors' daily journey through the city.
For Running Stitch, Hamilton & Southern 'captured' the life of Brighton & Hove through the movement of its inhabitants. Visitors to Fabrica were given the opportunity to take a GPS-enabled mobile phone with them to track their journeys through the city centre. These walks around the city resulted in individual GPS 'drawings' of the visitor's movements that were projected live in the gallery to disclose aspects of the city unknown to the artists. Each individual route was then sewn into a hanging canvas to form an evolving tapestry that reveals a sense of place and interconnection.
