Making direct reference to the proximity of her studio to the gallerys location, six hundred and seventy eight feet is an installation created through performance. Dickie will orchestrate a team to arrange and assemble combinations and associations of objects with an emphasis on process and material experimentation.

An accompanying publication of drawings, studio fragments and installation documentation will be made available.
