Dreaming as a brick (on Morrison’s Haven)
2024
Dreaming as a brick is an installation comprising of 12 plaster bricks, each embossed with a word in place of the brick ‘frog’ or stamp which come together to form a haiku.
Using haiku conventions, the work imagines what a brick could dream of when sitting, discarded on the beach at Morrison’s Haven, East Lothian. Functioning as poetry, the bricks are rendered redunant of their original purpose, whilst also asking questions about the value we place in traditional art objects, or more conventionally highly-valued items.
