The sighting\/siting kit belongs to Jasmine, a knowing guide and conduit for shifting consciousness and expanding awareness. Jasmine&#8217;s kit is a guiding system for derives, wanderings, of interior and exterior landscapes. Each device contained within the kit carries out a singular function for its user: the compass, to identify position, location and destination; the teleidoscope, to focus attention on one&#8217;s immediate environs; the magnifying lens, to closely examine; the surveyor&#8217;s chain, to measure from point to point; and a kaleidoscope, to unify fragments into a whole.<\/p>\n<p>As a symbol of physical and spiritual repair, a large glass mending needle is included in the kit as well. The needle represents seeing to things, taking care, mending fences, broken relationships, spiritual rifts, global divides.<\/p>\n<p>When something is mended it often becomes stronger than it was before it was in need of repair.<\/p>\n<p>These tools provide receptive users new ways of considering notions of place, perspective and path.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lisa Kaftori in collaboration with Joan Giroux<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Work with Me, The Averill and Bernard Leviton A+D Gallery, Chicago, Illinois, 2011<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;navigating ways,&#8221; part of the ongoing &#8220;jasmine series,&#8221; is a site-specific installation featuring the &#8220;to see, without reproach&#8221; project.
