I Just Called (2026) installed at Mossley Mill
Now, the installation brings the project fully back into the physical realm, with four vintage telephone seats and modified telephones.
It will be part of ArtsCare’s PRIME exhibition. The exhibition opens on 28 January and runs until 05 March. Thanks to Clare Lawlor and the ArtsCare team for allowing me to be part of this event again this year.
