The grinder, the sculptor and the photographer. Three men in a Trow. What prospects for production? An illustration of three individuals spontaneously responding, through collaboration, to a notion – that we have to act, momentously, artfully and with purpose.

  Given that most of the city, in their innocent ignorance, have consigned the grinding industry to the past, I hoped to show Sheffield that it is still alive and kicking. I wanted to reveal it in all its modesty, and neglect, in a prominent location in the city. The Town Hall balcony is constantly adorned with advertisements for the city’s cultural events and showcases. Maybe this is the occasion to use it for something artful and purposeful: Bespoke Cutting Edge Sheffield, Manufacture, Salubrity, Relay, Posterity, Exhilerate, Reanimate.
