A “bone sale” typically refers to the commercial transaction of various biological or luxury goods depending on the context:

Human Remains Trading: In biological anthropology and ethics, it refers to the controversial and often regulated trading of human skeletons or bones for scientific study or private collection. Organizations like the British Association for Biological Anthropology and Osteoarchaeology (BABAO) provide guidelines on the ethical treatment and legalities surrounding such sales.

Oranges and Lemons” is a traditional English nursery rhyme, folksong, and singing game which refers to the bells of several churches, all within or close to the City of London. The rhyme has been referenced in a variety of works of literature and popular culture. The bells of St Clement Danes (one of many London churches associated with the rhyme) play the tune every day at 9 am, noon, 3 pm and 6 pm:

Oranges and lemons,
Say the bells of St. Clement’s.

You owe me five farthings,
Say the bells of St. Martin’s.

When will you pay me?
Say the bells at Old Bailey.

When I grow rich,
Say the bells at Shoreditch.

When will that be?
Say the bells of Stepney.

I do not know,
Says the great bell at Bow.

Here comes a candle to light you to bed,
And here comes a chopper to chop off your head!
Chip chop chip chop the last man is dead.

Experimenting with broken forms, non conformity and abstracting shapes and tones. Art stuff. The kind of stuff my art teacher might have nearly approved of, although far too close to that deviant type of modern deconstructed art that institutions always thought was an aberration until Po***ck, Klein and de Kooning started selling it for the price of a large yacht and turning the whole gallery world upside down and back to front. I know a lot of people hate abstract expressionism and I’m cool with that. More pudding for me.
