The Scent Experience

As you enter the gallery space, you will first encounter a scent designed to evoke the recognisable and unplaceable. Simultaneously, your visual senses will take-in the artefacts before you. To heighten what you see by what you smell, immerse yourself in a fusion of aromatic elements drawn from our curated personal preferences. Though you might recognise some aromas, your interpretation is unique to you: we invite you to feel, remember, and question.

Instructions

1. Write down your first impression of the aroma (s).

2. Discover the scent’s components via individual scent strips. What do they remind you of?

3. Rearrange and layer them to your preference.

4. Staple your new sequence next to your first impression.

5. Scent a piece of unfired clay with a scent blend to take home as a personal memento of the uncanny.

This final gesture allows you to carry your interpretation, your (Be)Longing/s and notions of ‘home’, beyond the gallery walls.

Disclaimer

Please note that the clay keepsake pieces we provide contain dust particles to allow for super-absorption of the scents. To avoid inhaling dust, do not inhale the clay pieces directly, or store these without covering and securing first with a piece of your favourite cloth.
