6/23/2023 0 Comments The Cell by Brook AndrewThe overalls recall those worn by forensic technicians to avoid contaminating-and being contaminated by-crime scenes. To enter, one must first don paper overalls, also covered in the pattern. The Cell is a three-by-twelve-by-six-metre inflatable room, decorated inside and out with his Wiradjuri pattern.
