Agent Orange




Rowan Durrant steals up in the dead of night and fixes things that well, need fixing.
Archway is a pretty drab area of London, a place that completely fails as a public space.
Separating a council estate from a tube station the wind rattles past the precinct where kids play and mums look for somewhere to put the shopping down.
In the middle of the precinct was an officially neglected bench.
The support pillars of the bench had broke as had the middle section.
Durrant set to work donning a fluorescent jacket and hard had with angle grinder at the ready.
He calls it Superfixing.
In guerilla art secrecy is key...maybe that's why Durrant's next project involved the Queen, MI6, three police officers and a Lion.
