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.
