JIGS FOR [THE FABRICATION AND ASSEMBLY OF] STOOL LEGS - JAN MCCULLOUGH
TITLE
Jigs for [the Fabrication and Assembly of] Stool Legs
ARTIST
Jan McCullough
ABOUT THE WORK
Jigs for [the Fabrication and Assembly of] Stool Legs is part of a new series of images titled Jigs. To create this series, the artist collaborated with a number of fabricators to make a series of temporary architectural landscapes using their jigs – wooden custom made shapes that are used as tools to assist in the repeated cutting, placing and securing of their materials – in sculptural installations that she photographed. The fabricators included scenic construction workers who support the film and TV industry that has come to dominate the East Belfast docklands area in place of more traditional manufacturing industries. Their highly skilled labour involves staging partial cityscapes; slices of town scenes, portions of buildings etc. Much of their work is to create the unseen structures that underpin the authenticity of the sets.
These images are intended as a series of temporary monuments to the inventive nature and evocative gestures of this usually invisible labour, and to a changing city.
Jigs for [the Fabrication and Assembly of] Stool Legs was made as part of To Make a Monument, a multi-year project by Jan McCullough produced in collaboration with Household that explores untold acts and histories of labour, care and maintenance; fabrication and DIY; and the communities that form around them.
