DC Tosh from The Bill once announced; “behind every set of lace curtains there is a keen set of eyes”.  Neighbourhood Watch was a playful reflection on the innate desire we all have to look into our neighbour’s business.  It was also a humorous response to current urban design theory which argues that a sense of community safety can be generated through eyes – the feeling that at all times you can be seen by, and interact with, other humans (if you so desire).  The work was originally projected during the redevelopment of Central Dandenong in 2010 and re exhibited in 2012.
