Vanishing Points – The Western Front 100 years on.
Vanishing Point is a long-form project started in 2010. The idea initially to walk parts of the Western front and record it as it exists now, the project has since evolved. It will culminate in an exhibition and a publication details of which will be announced early in 2017.

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life. ...Bowl Barrow on Alderford Common in Norfolk. Almost lost in a carpet of bracken, it could be either Neolithic or Bronze Age. Hard to tell as it's been deformed by quarrying. A large polished flint axe head was found nearby.
Bylaugh, Sparhamhole Bronze Age Barrow Cemetery Norfolk. Just dust, crop marks and plough shattered flint under the white heads of the barley, lost on the slight rise of the Wensum river terrace.
