More thoughts and plans from walking through and m More thoughts and plans from walking through and moving through #suffolklandscapes The idea of a billboard or a hoarding has fascinated me since childhood. As a child I enjoyed being beguiled by the great poster designs of the 1980s, and a spark was ignited, what if something is displayed that is the opposite of bold advertising, but instead is something more odd and singular? A kind of sculptural and visual oxymoron?
