LEAVE A MESSAGE OF LOVE
Putney School of Art and Design (display on the first floor )
What would you like to say to someone you may be missing, care about, love or lost… Write, draw or make a token to love. Hang your ‘message’ on the washing line or pin it to the board. The messages & tokens will be on public display – so please include first names only and leave tokens that you are happy for us to keep.
This is a site-response project by Hardeep Kalsi for the PSAD Foundation Diploma Course. The objective of this interactive exercise is to gather ‘messages & tokens of love.’ The material gathered will form part of my Final Year Exhibition, which will take place at PSAD from week beginning Monday 8 July 2024. Thank you for taking part.

The Foundling Hospital was set up in 1739 as refuge for those who for one reason or another were unable to take care of their new-borns. Mothers leaving their babies at the Hospital would leave a small object such as a scrap of fabric, a written message of love, or a token as a means of identification. Thomas Coram was a great altruist, also an art patron, and the museum is full of amazing pieces. See more at Foundling Museum and Coram Story.
