This sculpture is a permanent, site specific construction created whilst on residency at Rochester Square. this piece explores functionality along side sculpture and architectural space.
"Jake Fisk’s work is an exploration of clay. He has been working actively in the garden where focusing on relaxation, education and experimentation, he has created a space for all of these things to happen. A metaphorical and physical multifunctional area, part sculpture part classroom part work bench part seating part recreational space. With a planted flat surface with a range of mosses, floor covering creepers and herbs. The sculpture will have a living carpet for anyone engaging with the space to be in contact with nature. The foliage creeps around the structure swallowing it and enhancing it. A rendering covering the construction has been inspired by the textures, colours and qualities of the site and clay that he had been working with. The raised garden area will become the location of communal workshops, meals, flower pressing, drawing, clay building and education." https://www.rochestersquare.co.uk/slade-residency
