Titled “ Not just Battle Abbey”.

Adding Battle Abbey to the artwork helps draw your eye through the artwork. I added in the different parts and pavements to the artwork, by having different colours and textures help break these different sections up.

Guess who's back at #BattleAbbey this half-term - #MANDRAKETHEMENTALIST!
If you've been before, fear not - no, do! - because Mandrake has plenty of new stories to explore, plus some old (undead) favourites. It's a #Halloween #Spooktacular!

My next step was to reposition the building slightly to reduce the number of gaps between the buildings. I’ve added in another building because of the fact that before, the artwork felt slightly lopsided with more buildings on the top row on one side than the other.

As I’m cutting out the different buildings for this artwork, I’m seeing how the different gaps between the buildings are showing you glimpses into the second row of buildings. I feel this effect is starting to work well.

My cousin found my book in the Sutton Hoo bookshop, So happy to see him there. Never thought I'd see the day!

Whilst taking photographs for this artwork, I realised how much alleyways inside roads are an important feature of Battle. So I made sure there were couple of spaces where the viewers can see in between different buildings.

A misty and dramatic visit to #BattleAbbey today - which will always be a special place for me growing up in Hastings. The absolutely stunning #13thcentury novices' room located beneath the dormitory is always particularly breathtaking! Just a shame the Romanesque abbey doesn't survive.
Happy Thursday.
What's behind today's Advent Calendar door? A trip to the Battle Abbey illuminations. It's on my 'must see list'.

I took this 📷 & I really like it 😌
Selfie of Kalum, a boring bearded white man with glasses, in Battle Abbey's walled garden allegedly formerly the abbey's orchard.
Made it to an Battle Abbey's walled orchard but rumors of a mysterious rose are of course not to be trusted. 🌹🤷
