AN artist living in a converted skip has described the move as a “statement” on the “crazy” cost of living in London.
Harrison Marshall, co-founder of Caukin Studio, took up residence in the skip in Bermondsey, south-east London, in January and aims to live there for a year.
The 28-year-old said that his action was “not intended to be a solution to the rising cost of living” but was instead intended to get people talking about cost-of-living problems in London.
