INTERIOR

Assembled sculpture and sound- suspended red bricks, black nylon chord and sound.

10 Reginald Street, Pallion, Sunderland.

Materials of labour are used referencing my father’s work and a post-industrial and working-class upbringing in Sunderland- using the red bricks that surrounded me in an ex mining Sunderland cottage during formative moments.

Red bricks are porous and the size of hands- small solid parts of bigger pictures.

I don’t remember my Dad ever wearing gloves.

Laughing he states “No Rose, nobody ever came to ask if your hands were OK and to see if you needed a break”.
