The brief begins to take shape… Things are made in a workshop - tables, chairs, sculptures, smaller things, bigger things, and also coffins. The workshop is connected to an undertakers (or perhaps the joiners/carpenters are the undertakers).
Part of the project then is about how our society deals with death; about mourning, remembering and going on living. Part is about health and refuge, about care for the excluded. Part is about making, healing through making and making a living.
“to undertake is to bind oneself to the performance of a task, to pledge or promise to get it done.”
