SLOW ORDER
Slow Order is a railway term traditionally used as a requirement to
lower the set speed limit of a section of rail due to maintenance. With
the rail track set in the vertical, the notion of what we are to
maintain is now brought into question. The work considers the rail track
as not only a signifier of the many industries it has supported, but
also how it, through its time in service as evident in its eroded and
marked surfaces, can be studied, supported and commemorated.
