\u201cBut at the same time, I immediately thought it\u2019s a good subject for me as an artist,\u201d said Ono. \u201cI wanted to share that feeling I had in my heart with the audience and invite them to participate.\u201d<\/p>\u2018\u201cProtect the Persecuted\u201d: Behind Yoko Ono\u2019s Impactful Refugee Art Project\u2019. The Guardian<\/em>, 21 June 2019, http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/culture\/2019\/jun\/21\/protect-the-persecuted-behind-yoko-onos-impactful-refugee-art-project.<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Response<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
My initial idea was a “Grapefruit” or “Acorn” style invitation to carry out an action. I really wanted to have an environmental message in this, so I considered something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
  1. Take a compass and go down to the ocean.<\/li>
  2. Look due South from the very edge of the water.<\/li>
  3. Consider Global Warming, and how the melting ice at the South Pole is directly linked to the ocean you are standing by<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    Then I thought about another of Ono’s work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Yoko Ono | Painting to Be Stepped On (1988) | Available for Sale | Artsy<\/em>. https:\/\/www.artsy.net\/artwork\/yoko-ono-painting-to-be-stepped-on. Accessed 30 Sept. 2021.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    I decided to combine the two ideas. Instead of providing instructions, I would just provide a place to stand, but let people know they were facing South when they were standing there. I would let their imagination do the rest. I made a stencil:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    I initially though about applying the stencil to the seawall using biodegradable paint, but when I went down to the beach I had another idea. I wanted to put the footprints directly onto the sand, so that they would be ephemeral. I did not want to do this with paint – it felt like precisely the wrong medium – so instead I took some charcoal from my woodburner and ground it up. I found the effect to be quite striking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    I then realised that standing in the footprints would destroy them. That felt right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    It was genuinely only then that I realised that I’d inadvertently created a “Dad joke”…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
