'Another Place'. As an artwork it's impossible to photograph (Antony Gormley explains). It's all about the space and the place. Everyone's experience of it will be unique depending on where they stand.

While we are in nostalgia mode, this the BBC TV Christmas identity from 1985. In those pre-digital days mechanical models were made. This one was a bit temperamental and required an engineer to be on standby. The engineer is the one in the diamond jumper.

Here's a little cyanotype print I made yesterday. I used soap bubbles for the background texture and a misting of vinager solution to achieve the green tone.

I've been experimenting with different papers for cyanotype printing. This is cheap cartridge paper. I've found that by adding a little gelatine to the sensitiser it coats very well. You can see some brush marks which add interest. The contrast seems to be increased as well. This one needs ironing!
