EARLY WORKS

What lies beneath

Medium: Cast iron

Date: June 2012

 

This is a site-specific cast iron piece that was placed up at the Grove Colliery, specifically over the grove pit hole. The significance of the hole is crucial to the piece, the footprints of mine provide a sense of my journey as a little girl to an adult. The piece is able to provide the story of my relationship and my attitude towards the Ironworks, resulting in no change from childhood to adult life.

These are rusted iron bolts that I found at the Ironworks down in Stepaside that are entrapped in clear resin. The idea is to preserve them and to prevent them from rusting any further.
