fences that represent the casual authority of bored urban planners, happy to direct the
plodding citizen away from the statistical dangers of urban joy riders. The same joy riders that,
I guess, drove straight into these barriers, twisting them into violent curves and waves, and
which now lie and lean intertwined in the gallery, rescued from the municipal depot in Deptford.
The transformation of ordinary matter from something mute into something loaded with
significance preoccupies Harding’s work.”
