Curatorial note

From its position along Manton Street, the patch marks an enduring intervention in the street's texture. Since January 2026, the work has been on view for 108 days, its circular hole and surrounding darker repair recording the slow accumulation of maintenance. The piece anchors the curb edge where wear meets repair, inviting careful observation of how urban surfaces become memory through time.
