For nearly a decade, Shiels transformed hundreds of abandoned objects on local streets into concrete poetry, stencilling them with truisms and quotations.

Making use of discarded things and found text, these ephemeral works reveal the tensions of gentrification, impermanence and the passing of time.

A collection of photographs that record Julie Shiels ephemeral text interventions on urban waste has been published by M.33. As Long as it Lasts
