"Remembering mortality" Exhibition review of Shroud by Josie Thaddeus-Johns in sleek magazine. "In the Veterinary Anatomical Theatre, Shroud’s 250kg of dust spills through the rooms with its varying shades of pale imitating a landscape, flowing in low, fragile contours. This fragility is a crucial aspect of the work’s effect, and one visitor accidentally walking across the installation only served to highlight this for Carey: “Although unfortunate, it also served to remind us just how fragile and ephemeral the work is; echoing the themes and concepts behind it. Despite being monumental in scale, it defies the traditional monument’s need for permanence and solidity. The work took over 35 hours to install, yet it can take just 5 minutes to destroy.” sleek-mag/showroom/2013/07/remembering-mortality/
