This picture is the result of the beginnings of three different projects that, through experimentation, amalgamated into the one you see. First came the external staircase/fire exit, which is attached to the Medical Centre at the UEA. The second set of photos were the rope and cleats, which were connecting some plastic barrels, stacked on the quayside at Yarmouth. I can only think they were improvised lobster or crab pots; I could be wrong! I isolated the rope from the barrels. The last item to be introduced was the Baroque front of the St. Giles House Hotel, on St. Giles St. Norwich. I have stretched the image to give the picture some ‘breathing space’. I eventually came to finished result after a lot of enlarging, extending and moving the pieces around. This took a long time and was exhausting, hence the tired and petulant title!
