An installation of three ‘buried’ stainless steel vitrines with fritted glass, containing white aluminium boxes and porcelain vessels, dishes and shards with gilding

Alison Richard Building, University of Cambridge
Permanent installation, 2012

A local history is an installation of three vitrines filled with porcelain, sunk below the paving outside the Alison Richard Building on the Sidgwick Site of Cambridge University. These vitrines are meant to be discovered, to be happened upon as you come and go across the site. They are there to make you pause momentarily. They are not sculpture as a Grand Statement.

Installation photography: Hélène Binet
