we walk

These are the sights that greet me on my way to the studio. I’m assuming the large text works were commissioned by the council: EVERYONE’S A WINNER and YOU CAN’T GO WRONG enliven the walls around the redevelopment of The Moor shopping area.





My route tells the story of a manufacturing past, buildings in varied states of dereliction line the streets just fives minutes walk from the city centre. Being drawn to places like this I'm happy to observe the present rubbing shoulders with the past.


Some interventions are quietly glued to the city. I especially like broad ribbed warrior maidens. Large text works and graphic's by Kid Acne.







My window, 'K' marks the spot.

The Avec Building, isn't she lovely?
