Harcourt Road in Broomhill, Sheffield, is a quiet residential road. Travel from the top of the street and you’ll gently descend towards Crookes Valley Park, an undulating mound of green surrounding Sheffield’s Great Old Dam. The road is replete with hawthorn bushes and broadleaved trees, a leafy stretch home to a row of red brick Victorian terraced houses. In one window, a meticulously cut-out paper sign reads WELCOME.

Helen Stratford’s exhibition Public S/Pacing at Bloc Projects in Sheffield, on from 16 May to 8 June 2024, could be viewed as both a personal exploration of the implications of chronic pain and a collaboration that seeks answers to how our environment and society can respond differently to enable all citizens. Stratford trained as an architect and has long been interested in power dynamics found in public spaces.

It’s April 2023, I’m on Eyre Lane in Sheffield when an unexpected phrase catches my eye: ‘grief must be love with nowhere to go’. The words are rendered on a billboard in a sturdy blackletter font and appear hastily creased-paper pasted. Their ambiguity intrigues me. As does the disjunct between the considered design and provisional presentation. But I don’t dwell on them for too long. Nine months later I encounter the billboard again, in documentation online, and its significance has changed.
