Condemned Works: a series of spatial interventions realized in the context of an historical Halifax waterfront building's destruction. The epitaph-like text reads:

Upper: IF YOU DON’T TAKE YOUR HANDS OUT OF MY POCKETS

Lower: I WILL HAVE TO TAKE YOU DOWN

Cut, unpainted plywood on welded, steel armature (upper text). Stenciled red paint (lower).
