Post No Bills
Some years (decades?) ago, I was taken with these “Post No Bills” stencils, much in the fashion of Allan Sillitoe’s The Death of William Posters. Above, one I shot recently; below images from years past. Click below to see them full-sized.

“I Don’t Have Another Land is a contemporary text sculpture by the internationally renowned and Turner Prize-shortlisted artist Nathan Coley. Coley creates these monumental sculptures using existing phrases that come from overheard conversations, song lyrics, news report, books or any found text. I Don’t Have Another Land was a piece of graffiti found on a wall in Jerusalem in the early 2000s. The phrases used in Coley’s artwork take on new meaning in each place they’re exhibited.”

A striking image we saw at the museum that I failed to make a note of. The best I can reconstruct from the museum’s web site is that it might have been part of this exhibit. I have long considered using my calligraphy skills on photographs but some early experiments proved disappointing. It’s still on my list of future projects, however.
