This work is one of two which were created in Domane Marienberg, Hildesheim as part of the RE:DO project. The RE:DO consisted of several artists from Glasgow School of Art, invited to make work alongside German students from Hildesheim University, within the grounds of a soon to be demolished site.

This work demonstrates a desire to control the nature of a destructive act. the square represents this as there no perfect squares in nature. By creating a perfect one metre by one metre square shows this precise destructive intervention.

Untitled Destruction (Brick)

Two Bricks Crushed to Dust, Latex Rubber, MDF Supports

The second of two works created as part of the RE:DO project in Hildesheim. In this work, two bricks were painstakingly removed from a wall of one of the soon to de demolished buildings. These bricks were then individually crushed into dust in a controlled environment where all remains could be gathered and collected. This dust was then mixed with Latex rubber and set in a brick shape mould. Once set, both the bricks were returned to the place in which they were taken.

These bricks, now, part brick, part rubber, are more likely to survive the demolition process and go on eventually to be found at a later date.
