For two weeks in October visitors to Melmerby were presented with a curious addition to the village green landscape.

Passers by will have noticed a colourful section of dry stone wall, replaced with domestic objects usually found in the kitchen.

The objects - plates, bowls and pottery, spoons, sieves and cooking utensils - were placed in the wall for just two weeks.
Kate often works with ideas that explore boundaries - both physical and psychological - as an exploration into the ways we

structure our worlds.

Wall continues this theme of sociological enquiry by placing objects into a situation with an entirely different context. The

intention here was to raise responses about the juxtaposition of objects used to build the wall, and the representation of

those objects in terms of function, purpose and user assumptions.

Wall was installed as part of FRED - an art invasion across Cumbria. More information can be found at www.fredsblog.com
