Large box piece made in two halves. Welded metal frame covered in hand-pulped paper combined with elements of print, embossing and threads. Bruised skin colour on outside and multi-coloured on inside with a slash running round the outside revealing the interior. Reference to buildings but considering how our private self contrasts with our public persona.
