Photo Description:
This piece is a cast typewriter where I have trapped it into concrete. Although trapped sections are still functional but vital parts are un-functional so makes the whole object useless. The type writer is like a fossil and looks lost and lifeless, sunken into the cement making the whole object heavy and cold. It looks to have been forcefully thrown into the cement as a statement of stopping the recording of events. The typewriter I feel is a symbol of the hope of stopping the need to dwell on the past and the hope of moving on and not having to revisit old events. A lot of what you see in the news is about destruction and heartache. People dying, being killed, natural disasters. The age of the typewriter put it in history and doesnt fit in with todays digital and computerised age.
