Eve Waldron is from Cambridge, originally from New York. She finds the idea of collaborative art a very generous idea. She is an interior designer so often commissions other people to work with her. She is going to wrap the plinth in white duck tape. She had initially planned to survey the plinth using tape measures. Her family are artists but she decided to be sensible and study design. She is involved in commissioning and working on public art. She is not promoting her own work commercially. She is making a visual statement. She has two children and thinks it is important to balance personal life with work. Says the project is very 'now' - a bit like reality television.
