Half of a two dimensional, black-and-white tower block, with a balcony running down its middle. On one balcony are two outdoor chairs, tilted to slightly face each other. Another has a set of four planters, brimming with fleur-de-lis like plants. Another has a bucket. Another has an ambiguous figure that looks a bit like an outline drawing.

Featuring the stories of four Wolverhampton-based workers and residents (NEOne the Wonderer, Sahjan Kooner, Leanne O'Connor, Mickey Angel), 'Wolveren Watchmen' emphasises that it is the people who make a city what it is - driving culture, creativity, and community - not the institutions.

Commissioned as part of SINGLEPOINT for OFFSITE9, complementing the British Art Show 2022. With Asylum Artist Quarter and Creative Black Country. Video (above) & Vinyl Wrap Installation (left/below).
