Signs of Life 1: shadowplay

By  Sharon Haward 2009

Dimensions
300cm x 300cm x 800cm

A three part intervention in abandoned town house in central Liverpool. On each floor the shadows from the staircase were made permanent through rubbing away the mildew, painting and scratching away the paint. A shadow of a found table was created from found fallen wallpaper.
