Pease Bricks is an intricate etching from Kane Cunningham’s The Skinningrove Suite, a limited edition of 66 signed pieces. This artwork honours the legacy of the Pease Brickyard, a significant part of Skinningrove’s industrial heritage, and the lasting imprint it left on the landscape and community.
Through meticulous etching techniques, Cunningham captures the robust, textured nature of the iconic Pease bricks, which were once produced in large quantities to support the region’s industrial development. The deep lines and grooves carved into the metal plate mirror the process of brick-making itself, with each stroke representing the labour and craftsmanship that shaped Skinningrove’s built environment. The bricks, like the industry that formed them, have become symbols of the village’s resilience and transformation.
The dark ink pressed into the etched lines brings the bricks to life, emphasising their weathered surfaces and the stories they carry of a time when the brickyard thrived. Cunningham’s portrayal in Pease Bricks reflects not only the physicality of the materials but also the emotional weight of the village’s industrial past and the way these remnants continue to shape its identity.
Part of The Skinningrove Suite, Pease Bricks is a testament to the craftsmanship and industrial history of the village, offering collectors a visual narrative rich with texture, history, and emotional resonance. This limited edition etching is a beautiful homage to the enduring presence of Skinningrove’s industrial roots and the strength of the community that built it.
