Portable Pavement Works - Case 1: Papers and Sands

By  Marilyn Rathbone 2002 - 2003
I walked with my children along the same routes to and from school for eight years. Manhole covers, cracks in the pavement, petals, leaves and other materials I came across on these and other walks inspired me to create a body of work called the Pavement Works Collection. Started in 1998, to date the collection consists of over twenty works in eight categories. 'Portable Pavement Works - Case 1: Papers and Sands' is a collection of small scale pieces that were designed to pack away into a small carry case. Contents: Little Welcome, Portable Pavement Pile, Portable Pavement Papers, Portable Pavement Sands, Portable Pavement Works Card Sets (Papers and Sands) Portable Pavement Works Pencils, Badges and Cards petals, leaves, handmade boxes, case
