Down, through and back again

Photography by Jules Lister

Materials: copper. Down, through and back again is a site-specific work developed for the exhibition Each Toward the Other at Bury Sculpture Centre. Sited in a part of the building that was originally the library, the work responds to a section of flooring in the gallery where a spiral staircase led down to the archive. The individually placed pieces of copper function as an act of repair and reflection on the spaces we inhabit.
