last year i blogged about holy ground, an idea we had for doing an installation (and resource) at greenbelt 04. this is how i described it:

i am working with artist (and friend) paul hobbs on a project called holy ground.
the idea for this is very simple. we want to collect a range of shoes
from christians round the world for an installation at greenbelt this
summer (and if it looks good maybe a resource to go with it). and we
want a brief story that goes with the shoes. easy eh?!

well it turned out that it took a lot longer than anticipated to collect shoes so we have delayed it by a year and plan to do it at greenbelt 05. we are getting there but are still after more shoes. so if either you or someone you know has a pair of shoes with an assoicated story please e-mail me. this is the list of countries we have shoes from so far:

Albania
| Britain
| Burma
| Canada
| Ethiopia
| Germany
| Holland
| India
| Kenya
| Kosovo
| Nigeria
| Pakistan
| Peru
| Rwanda
| Serbia
| Sudan
| Tanzania | Central Asia

and this is the list of types:

Athlete
| Bishop
| Doctor
| Former Drug Addict|
Former Thief/Evangelist
| Missionary/Evangelist
| Ornithologist
| Prayer Ministry Leader
| Priest
| Prisoner/Evangelist
| Refugee
| Teacher|
Village housewife
| Youth Worker
| Small child|
Forester/Canoe Instructor

once again here is a summary of the project, a form for people donating shoes to fill in to tell their story and give us permission to use the shoes and a letter to send to anyone which explains the project. thanks..
