Steam Hammer House
2014
Fiberglass, wood
715 x 725 x 850 cm
The steam hammer was invented in Manchester in 1837 and gave the industrial revolution a massive boost. Once an example of high-tech, it is now a stark reminder of obsolescence. Steam Hammer House contains a kitchen, office, bathroom and toilet. It’s a place of work where man and machine become one.
