About this work
Description

Led by the Brick Keepers, the procession went from the Wellcome Collection Euston Road, to Brunswick Square Gardens Bloomsbury, where one layer of this folk object was buried. The rest of the bricks were interred at Crossness Pumping Station Thamsemead [Thamesmead], both points of burial are marked with a plaque.' (Taken from the sleeve notes).
