John Reed was initially
interested in the puzzle jugs which seem to stretch through quite a large
period of our history and got to thinking about all the pipework and complexity
of the object, he set about recreating those. He started thinking about
the drinking side and the social side of it, and commented that even back
in the 1750's they were concerned about crime-related drinking or drink
related crime. |
