Inkwell
Ivan Dougherty Gallery, 1993.

A large cylinder of wet, compacted clay (about the size of an oil drum) harbouring a small pool of ink in its top surface. Essential for the work's conceptual and physical coherence was the necessity for it to be kept entirely wet for the 3-week duration of the exhibition. Made specifically for its location, Inkwell made reference to the former identity of the building as an early 20th century, public junior school.
