Artist Nari Ward is inspired by the tradition of staging yard shows in South America, where individuals will customise the exteriors of their homes using found objects. A tradition that also inspired Rauschenberg, people take anything from old furniture to crushed cans and create art along the boundary of their homes.
“It is, is when regular people, people who aren't trained in the arts, they have materials that are laying around, and they organise it in such a way that it kind of reflects their ideas about, about, you know, sort of systems of maybe create creation systems, belief systems related to religion, or even anxiety… It's always a kind of boundary space but once this boundary space that's embellished, to give the identity or the belief structure of that individual,” Ward explained over video chat.
