Deborah Pipe's collection of ceramic spoons is clustered behind the Angel Hotel, in Angel Lane. The response is by Deborah Bowkis.

Shallow spoons shaped as if a thumb 
pressed them from the earth 
 
and then, blasé,
flung them away, like beggars.
 
Strewn on fine linen or silk
they’d be a talking piece.
 
A centrepiece of cultural contrivance,
pressed into silver service.
 
Deborah Bowkis

Deborah Pipe focuses on the dynamics of clay. After a career working in mental health services she is highly conscious of art as a media for social change and a form of self-expression and healing. The multi-disciplinary and responsive nature of groving and opportunity to make social comment made the invitation to join this project particularly attractive and exciting.
