Mark Holden Sanding Installation 1999 IDA Gallery York University, Toronto
									I had a lot of fun with this gallery.  First with the wall and the feathers and now with the sanding installation.  I sanded the walls with a belt sander, exposing the previous layers of paint and in some cases text from previous shows.   The exposed layers were beautiful and felt like an archeology experiment.  I turned the gallery into a piece of art and the gallery referenced itself.
