Doug Haywood
Outdoor installation
Joyfully titled Hallelujah, this light-hearted, site-specific intervention playfully alters three local street signs in Leytonstone. With a wink to pop culture and language, Doug uses subtle wordplay to add an unexpected layer to the familiar.
Taking a pithy approach to the art trail’s theme, the work offers a quiet nudge: less mural, more mischief. It’s a somewhat irreverent nod to an archaic, chart-topping folk song, inviting passersby to question what they’ve seen, or think they’ve seen.
Perhaps it’s a visionary sign. Or just a playful detour on the path to righteousness—after all, not everyone’s an artist, but everyone’s a fracking critic.
