This is a series of works created with finds from 19th and early 20th century shards found in a former dump across the alley behind my house and studio. I have been excavating this site for the better part of the past two years and re-birthing these pieces from the local remains of a previous era.

2 pipe bowls I found today in the needle ridden alley. One I find particularly interesting as it has a fly for a holder. #pipebowls #brickworksmichaelmorgan.com
