Signs & Portents
These digital prints are a kind of homage to Sir John Soane. I took these photographs at South Hill Park Arts Centre, Bracknell. 

Sir John Soane had been one of its previous architects. His passion for collections has always inspired me and to see many of the neo-classical features at South Hill Park is a reminder of the style of the C18. Alongside these are a myriad of Health & Safety notices – which are also a sort of contemporary 'collection' but perhaps not always recognised as such.
