Tombstone (lets get over this) was commissioned by the Crafts Council for their Acts of Making Touring Festival in 2015. Harrison was 1 of 6 invited contemporary artists whose work approaches the act of making in performative and ephemeral ways. Tombstone (let's get over this) wasacollaborative performance work developed and performed at two urban skate parks as well as a public skate event in Bilston town centre. The project invited skateboarders to become makers in the grinding of a specially made stone bench as a form of social sculpture.
