Unsworth’s series of prints depict public monuments against a white background, isolated from their original context. The images record the state of each monument or sculpture on a particular day, complete with the stains and marks on the structure at that time. These marks reflect the life and activity which has taken place in the surrounding public space, and include graffiti, fingerprints, spillages, scratches and dirt. Signed and numbered, accompanied by certificate of authenticity.
