signs of life

Text to marvel over, everyday settings and surfaces.

'Graffiti' using polystyrene cups and a fence - a fast and very effective way to get your message across... love it! 

This sweet little sign was found by a crossing on Forest Road, Walthamstow.

The platform at Lower Hutt as I waited for the train to Wellington. This commute has to be of the prettiest I’ve experienced, especially as you near the city - I've dreamt about those views across the sea. Glancing up a street in Wellington I saw 'a thousand times over I love you' writ large on a wall. Intrigued, I returned later to photograph and frustratingly couldn't find it! The words float in my memory and are written on a pink post-it note by my desk.

Lerwick in January, the day after Up Helly Aa 2010. Something compelling about seeing my own initial writ large, especially in such a well proportioned painting.
