To mark the end of the day and the number of brick or tiles made, the late 19th and early 20th century brick and tile makers marked the last one of the day with a number. The number standig for the total number of work made or the number of rows made that day. Private coll.

"Building a Home in Between"
Brick #1: Books
For the past decade I have been moving around so many places, living a few months here, a couple years there... never really settling. So my home might look very different from other people's home. It's made of the objects I carry with me in my backpack and suitcases and of memories I make and people I meet.
In this project I represented those objects in the shape of bricks, like I use them to build this home even when in between places.

Books are part of the objects I carry around in various shapes (paperback or electronic). Or else I find my way to books always registering to local libraries.
