Bricks are made from clay and water, mixed and pressed, fired and changed, transported and secured. The quarries they leave after excavation are sites of hollow earth. These negative depths and their positive structures share invisible connections between a spliced entity who cannot unite itself other than in the retelling of its history. Like bricks, we carry with us our origins and form new selves in new places. Clay is malleable and transformative. It is often related to human bodies, as being both that which we come from, and that where we will one day return. 

Clay from the Don Valley brickworks (now Evergreen Brickworks) was mixed with water from mud river to form bricks, which built sites like Massey Hall and Osgood Hall. For this workshop/performance with moving trailer participants were invited to take part in a small clay sculpting exercise at these three locations. After a 3 minute exercise, participants leave their small sculpture and are given a brick which they take away from the source. The moving trailer's journey reconnects invisible tethers between these locations, and asks participants to consider what Quarry they come from.
