​​The term ‘Post Revolution’ at first sight may suggest political, cultural or perhaps industrial revolutions. Whilst such revolutions are referenced in the work, it is the physical history of the material that provides the first reading. Cast from a single aluminium car wheel the material that forms the work has endured a lifetime in revolution before being transformed into a static rectangular block. The format of the cast aluminium references industrialised standardisation and written documents, with the dimensions equal to standard A4 paper and the quantity of aluminium giving the approximate thickness of a ream of paper.
