'Language Oven' is part of a series celebrating Essex's association with Jiangsu Province, China. After visiting China, Davey produced six pieces relating to its temples, gardens and customs. This piece is a workbench on which there is an arrangement of objects drawn from cooking, printing and imperial architecture. Salt has historically played an important economic role within Jiangsu and Maldon in Essex.
