The work collapses industrial labour into digital production. A small foundry, hand-built and lit, asks what was gained and what was lost in each migration of work. From iron-pour to chip-fabrication, from coal-stoker to data centre.
Made during the UAL 20/20 residency at Wolverhampton Art Gallery, in conversation with the gallery's nineteenth- and twentieth-century industrial paintings. A related photopolymer etching from the same residency, I wake up and find myself in an excluded world, was acquired into the Wolverhampton Art Gallery permanent collection.
Part of Endz of the World, the larger residency body of work that includes photopolymer etchings, digital prints, and a film. View the full residency →
