The plaque, adjacent to the sculpture, tells us:
Site-specific installation Broken Pillar #12 is part of a body of work developed over the last five years by Shan Hur. As part of the artist's practice, Hur incorporates found objects, usually relevant to its location within these structures, encouraging the viewer to question the world around them and the objects hidden within it. Adapted to its surroundings at St Helen's Churchyard, Broken Pillar #12 is a unique interpretation from the series, unveiled for the occasion.
