Curatorial note

The broad wooden sheet occupying the concrete foreground anchors the composition, its two lighter boards laid across its surface. Acquired December 2025 as part of the Community Life Improvement Program, the work situates within Grays Ferry and gathers salvaged fencing, OSB paneling, and incidental litter. This material assembly records a persistent edge between private space and public passage, inviting attention to the street’s debris as a form of urban sculpture.
