photo of the local Brände Udde farm site's shed, assembled on a winter's day four years ago by a group second year design students using disgarded pallets. The shed houses donated gardening gloves, fishtail weeders, watering cans and further tools for shared use. As a structure of shelter and storage, the shed supports visible and invisible collective energies and endeavours. Walk over to it and you might find gatherings of recently rescued materials awaiting new life or bulbs of garlic drying in some July shade
