Audio-Video looped projection and shadow/slide installation,
site specific, The Falcon Works Pottery, Stoke on Trent, 2006.
The pottery in this installation was the
last pottery made by Weatherby Pottery. The image is taken
from the statue of Josiah Wedgwood, [founder of the Stoke
on Trent pottery industry and the "father" of English
bone china] which stands opposite Stoke on Trent train station.
Below: 35mm slide (digitally-manipulated
image) and shadow projection.
This project was supported by a grant from the
Arts Council of England.
