The bone painted green screen green was one of three contributions I made to a hit-and-run group show beneath a series of railway arches on the Crossfields Estate exploring themes of shelter, precarity, and loss. The privately owned yet publicly accessible land provides a scruffy, equivocal commons and makeshift shelter to dog walkers, graffiti artists, and rough sleepers.

We installed all works without title or credit so that the rough sleeping paraphernalia, adjacent graffiti, and unremoved litter became part of the show, steering hard into questions of context, privilege, care, refuge, artwork status, and moral responsibility.
