china stone






Five days before Cabot Circus opened to the public [25th Sept 08] the granite kerbstone reached its final destination and was installed in Penn Street at the entrance to the new centre. It is bizare for me to stand on the stone and remember the landscape it once was part of in the heat and humidity of South East China. For those who are interested the text on the stone in Chinese is the title of the work - A weight of stone carried from China for you - The other texts are the location - the quarry where the stone came from, the date it was quarried and stone type as it is refered to in China.
