This piece of wall on Edward Street in Norwich is just to the rear of Access to Music. It’s has puzzled me for years, it’s clearly a relict piece of something. What has always seemed odd about it is the angle compared to the road line – it juts out almost into the path. I’ve […] The post Edward Street first appeared on Invisible Works .
Mutter mit totem Sohn (Mother with her dead son) Käthe Kollwitz (1937) Neue Wache Memorial Unter den Linden Berlin I’ve been a massive fan of Käthe Kollwitz for years, initially aware of her work and then the fierceness with which she burned as an artist and the way she interpreted the lives of the working […] The post Mutter mit totem Sohn first appeared on Invisible Works .
For anyone who knew her – especially from the old Twitter mob, Jess Macdonald (@Jessikart) left us late in the evening of Tuesday the 2nd of January. She passed with her mum Meryl and her sister Abi by her side. She was one of my best friends, a funny, feisty, riot girl, quick-witted with a […] The post Jess Macdonald first appeared on Invisible Works .
Nick and I used to speculate a lot between us about the various assortments of stone we’d spot in buildings which probably didn’t originate there.

It feels like I’ve followed Crome everywhere over the last year. The deliberation of stepping into […] The post Finding Crome first…
I wrote this in the early summer after reading a piece about ‘The Great British Car Journey’ – a heritage centre which has opened in Ambergate in Derbyshire. Then I stuck it to one side because it’s not like my usual stuff, then the other days I thought I’d tidy it up and stick it […] The post All the cars I’ve ever known first appeared on Invisible Works .
It’s been a spectacularly bad fortnight. So here’s a story about some records and what they mean. Because music holds us together, it is partly how we form up into our ranks, each beat marking our time. 33 years ago, give or take, I first saw my wife in a pub, she liked Soft Cell […] The post Marking time first appeared on Invisible Works .
Once you get past the nexus of Vikings, Lollards, and antifa missionaries. You are faced with a recent piece of change – a set of traffic lights which supplanted a pedestrian subway much beloved by lots of local photographers, graffiti artists, pooling rainwater, litter, flyposters, and drunks desperate for a slash. It was filled with […] The post Walking the past: St Georges Street – Part Two…
