Laura Johnson has a great interest in ideas around mindfulness in her practice. For In:Site she used an array of found objects, such as rusted metals and twigs, with silver and colourful covered metal wire. Invited participants to join in creating their own pin badges wihich were then displayed on one of the lamp-posts in the square.
