If you are interested,
it is a Doris Salcedo’s Shibboleth in miniature.
I made a small deep tub of mortar (concrete would be no good as the aggregate would be too large).
When it was nearly set I cut it into separate sections with a false crack and then floated the mortar into those, so that essentially I had several sections of mortar, mortared together.
This I broke apart this morning.
I made a tiny 1.5 inch pointing trowel out of a margarine pot lid and a roofing nail too.
You heathen fool!

The crack in the tate has to be the biggest mis-use of the space ever.
It was crap.

I think that it was actually quite impressive.
The pure process of creating it was impressive and in that barren area the juxtaposition (which was not part of her purpose - she was trying to highlight racial injustice) was beautiful.
I think hers offered a better ROI than mine and mine only cost about £2 to make.
