Molino de Barro – Ladrilleros de Agua Zarca y herreros de Río Grande
Brick makers from Agua Zarca and blacksmiths from Río Grande
Luke Hart’s clay windmill was designed specifically to work with the region’s endemic clay. His work is the result of the synthesis of many industrial designs, adapted to be fabricated with local materials and respecting sustainability.
Fabricated with concrete, metal and wood, this design was able to make the clay ground more efficient in the Agua Zarca community, where clay is used for roof tiles, bricks and crafts in recent years.

Luke Hart studied at the Pratt Institute, NY and the Royal College of Art, London.
Hart’s sculptural practice revolves largely around structural and material experimentation. Using a variety of industrial production methods, and methods of his own design, the work often focuses on the connection points, or joints, of steel structure engineering. His work is also often concerned with how the structural and sculptural object interacts with the world around it, whether that is through an investigation of gravity, buoyancy, or architectural and landscape relationships. Working at the boundary between the art object and the functional, functionality ties the work inextricably, and embeds it in, the world, abandoning the traditional art object’s autonomy. Hart makes an important distinction between function and use-value however, function being a more fundamental property of the thing rather than a property of one’s relationship to that thing.
