"Galleryfill" is a permanent public installation commissioned by Third Space Gallery for Tin Can Beach in Saint John, New Brunswick. To produce the installation, unwanted artworks were collected from artists in the City of Saint John, and Chicago, Illinois. These works were used to produce an underground gallery installed to landfill standards by layering stones, sand, clay, leachate barriers and felt.
Below are a series of images documenting the process of installing "Galleryfill".
