The TW2 artists walked the 4444 steps from Florli to hilltop or from fjord to 740ft. Galen Riley carried the potatoes for the evening meal. For the TW2 exhibition she has reassembled this event most literally by making a bolus of 4444 potatoes, a process that insisted on as many potato-laden steps as the first event.

The potato grows underground and has been grown in space. Galen has installed five potato-sack trees, which hang from the ceiling and climbing rope coils that spring from the ground.

This is a sculptural and mental landscape of her encounters and associations during the TW2 Laboratory Polymorphic.

This is the second project Galen Riley has participated in at Tou Scene. She played a leading role in the Killing Time exhibition of 2005. Her work is chiefly sculptural, partially anecdotal but may often conclude in text (screen play) or photographically where appropriate.
