Piece of flock wallpaper created by artist Marc Rees for multi media artwork installation Shed*light, first installed at St Fagans: National History Museum (as it was then known) in 2005.

“In Shed*light artist Marc Rees constructed a replica shed for strong dynamite in the Swansea Valley that was the site of his first sexual encounter. The original is a brick structure with a heavy concrete roof. The interior and exterior of this replica shed was covered with specially designed wallpaper that emulates the ivy that covered the original shed but is also embedded with subtle male erotica that echoes the rites of passage experience within the building’s history” (Marc Rees in 2009).
