'Hearts in Place', my room installation at the 2018 In Situ Festival. Most of the room is shown, but you can't see what's at the back centre, behind the "veined" panels, nor what's behind me as I photographed this. All artwork: Kim-Lee Kho, this photo: Kim-Lee Kho
| The 2018 In Situ multi-arts festival took place November 8–10 at the Small Arms Inspection Building (a former WWII munitions factory now partially refurbished as a creative hub) in Mississauga, Ontario. 'Hearts in Place' was a whole-room installation comprised of: ten 7-foot high scrolls, eight of which were transfer-printed (a hand-pulled process), two were hand-painted; two paper-and-fibre "veined" panels (centre); two veiling textile panels; one built-onsite sculpture/assemblage which you can see a sliver of light from at the centre of this photo; and the wall behind me as I photographed the room panorama was a mural drawing which I drew a portion of as a live performance each of the three evenings of the festival. Like the first In Situ festival in 2016, this was an extraordinary experience and a creative high, but with the benefit of central heating and running water! I am still exhausted from the experience of preparing all of this new work, performing and then taking it all down just days later. As a result I will keep this entry shorter than I might have, but will share with you some photographs. Thanks go to the numerous – generous – photographers and friends, (all credited individually), who made this possible, documenting when I could not. I will write post part two in a week's time. Many thanks to the many people who came out to experience the festival and visited my room!
