Field notes
Entries pair materials with fragments of context: Stuck is described as a wooden-spoon figure in a paper cup, left for officers at Melksham police station, while Angel was drawn in a holding cell at Winchester County Court. The Inside chapter is dated 2 August 2025 to 15 April 2026. The catalogue says some works survive only in photographs and that its sequence may change once dates are confirmed.
