Artist examples:
Francois Davin (French site-specific, community artist) walked through an island of Japan, asking for charity for the night (this area has a long tradition of this) and making small offerings along the path, made of arrangements of objects from nature.
Richard Long (British artist known for his walks) sometimes makes cairns along his path.
Also another idea I just had:
DOMESTIC OFFERINGS - a woman's version, taking the domestic into the commercial. Place homemade biccies in special spots around the centre, maybe on doilies, maybe onto tables in cafes, on quaint old-fashioned plates (maybe with teacup; or paper). Bringing a CWA feel to Midland Gate.

Hi Amanda, I like the idea of the offerings, and your idea would certainly be a contrast to the vibe of the shopping centre.
Bikkies is good, however I like the idea of the Japanese small objects - it would be nice to have time to make origami objects or other disposable objects as well as bikkies. It would be nice to set up small shrines for the offerings, with candles and incense, but that would probably require shopping centre permission and they would probably be worried about fires with the candles.
Hello AJL,
I am Francois Davin. I found your blog by pure chance. Do you want to know more about my pilgrimage project in Shikoku, Japan?
