Description taken from Peter's website:

Embedded in all of us is the ability to recognise and read the human figure from scant visual information. In this work Burke has sought to depict a collective human presence with a series of defined spaces. Here shown is Sixteen partial body moulds arranged as if coming together with the tightest concentration of figures in the middle of the group.
The material and forms draw on the artist's early involvement with engineering practice and an appreciation of the aesthetic properties of functional engineering construction. The cast iron forms have been designed to be industrially produced and repeated to reflect the use of industrial production methods , and are bolted together using the convention for the joining of castings. Each figure is suggested by three out of the possible four assembled mould sections of a body cast, allowing the viewer visual entry and an opportunity to perceive it from the outside in, as if casting ones own body.
 Assembly was conceived as an assembly of persons, of parts, and spaces, which can finally be assembled by the viewer and in turn pays homage to the proud history of the Woolwich Arsenal and all that worked there over the centuries.
