KNEELING (MEMORIAL GARDENS)
Three “photographic rubbings” made with graphite crayons
on toner monochromatic prints (80gsm Bond paper).
They are hand-embossed imprints of inscriptions of the names
of the workers of Gas Light & Coke Company dead in the World Wars I and II.
The black and white powder texture is the result of graphite used to rub the stones
in the memorial garden, in the centre of which a gas lamp burns constantly.
