‘Reduce greed now’

By Martin Booth  Wednesday Apr 17, 2024

A corner of Bristol most recently used for creative advertising has become the location of some site-specific artworks.

A small patch of grass between Trinity Street and Clarence Road close to Trinity has been unofficially renamed as Old Market Lawn.

Positioned on it are three carvings: one giving its new place name, one carved with the words ‘reduce greed now’ and one left blank.

The addition of the stone carvings to Old Market Lawn is a reminder of the days when Turbo Island on Stokes Croft was covered in grass and featured several miniature Easter Island heads.
