Did You Know?

The artist Carmel Buckley made rubbings of three different Cleveland sewer drain covers, including this one, during the spring and summer of 2019.

Description

Carmel Buckley’s Untitled highlights the artist’s imaginative approach to materials. In a series of work begun in 2008, Buckley makes graphite stick rubbings of mundane or industrial metal objects that often have ties with the industrial history of a place. These “drain drawings” relate to her broader interest in the ways that urban architecture and artifacts link residents and visitors to the historical past and to everyday cultural artifacts. In this rubbing, she captured one of many sewer drain covers found around the city of Cleveland.
