The last of the courtyard installs, a new wallpaper print in a bright tartan-like grid, red and blue and yellow, set into the windows in the middle of a Salford winter with snow on the ground. Designed and hand-printed like the rest, and put up in the cold.
Four years of this by now, a new design in the same windows each time, the courtyard treated like a gallery that changed its show. A plaid pattern glowing out of a boarded window on a grey, frozen day, which is about the most a bit of printed paper can do for a place.
