Grit and Determination. Worcestershire. Scattered Site project
Between 02 and 03, Yoke and Zoom installed one pair of grit
bins, one labeled GRIT, the other DETERMINATION in each of the six district
council areas within Worcestershire: Bromsgrove, Malvern Hills, Redditch,
Wychavon, Wyre Forest and Worcester City, A total of 6 pairs.They were installed in rural roadside (with the exception
of Worcester City) each bin was strategically sited in a location where residents had requested to have grit bins placed previously, so as to be benificial or a gift to the community in a practical
sense and as an artwork.
