Crushedwall is about geology (we are here because of the tin deep beneath this Cornish landscape) and it is about process. One of the things that interests me as a maker is the way in which made things are so much duller than the processes that got them there. Watch glass blowing and you’ll see more beauty there than is in the finished vase! Concrete is not noted for its fluid softness. And yet it is also a liquid. We wanted our concrete to tell its own story and to retain the liquidness of its process.
