While living in Sydney, Australia I purchased 1000 Ikea ‘Glimma Glimma' candles - I also asked a friend in Vancouver, Canada to do likewise. Then, at same appointed time, with 8000 miles between us, we started lighting the candles and allowed them to burn until expired.
This work was exhibited as part of a Canada Council for the Arts International Residency at Artspace gallery, Sydney, AU.
