SCROLL BENCH
Lucy cavendish college, university of cambridge
UNVEILED IN JUNE 2025
This work is the outcome of my research into the history of Grange Lane, West Cambridge, the site of the work.
The scroll pictured is an ancient deed or ‘terrier’ I discovered at the St John’s College Archive, documenting the sale of the land in the 16th century. I took inspiration from the rigid, curled shape of the scroll to create an interractive artwork that invites viewers to sit, rest and converse inside this form lifted directly from a piece of local history.
