Part 2, because this is another photograph I took of the vaulted ceiling in Westminster Abbey. I have introduced the Portsmouth Spinnaker, the Great Yarmouth Observation Wheel and the gently graduated steps curving down from the War Memorial in Norwich. The first thing to point out is the disparity in sizes between these elements. The ceiling in the Abbey is 31 metres high. The Spinnaker is 170 metres, and the Ferris Wheel stands at 50 metres. An impossible fit. The Wheel was viewed side on, with the pods removed for winter storage. The curved steps that run down from the City Hall to the market, is of course a different size to the roof (and I’ve turned the image vertically). I fitted them into a blank wall above the divide between the Nave and the Apse/Altar at the other end. I collaged them in to accentuate the swirling effect, reflected in the Spinnaker.

In The Hot Seat
Another concoction of disparate items assembled together, which strangely become compatible (eh?). In the background is the vent exhaust and fuselage of a Harrier VTOL jet that is exhibited at the City of Norwich Aviation Museum in Horsham St. Faiths, near the airport. I added the clip fasteners from a mobile cafe that was closed and secured for the night. I can’t remember where I found the discarded chair, but I liked it because of its broken strut (I added the splintering), and how it had been used for spray painting something, hence the blue circle. Imagine sitting in the chair whilst the Harrier was taking off..(geddit?).
