‘The Empire’, Great Yarmouth
‘The Empire’, Great Yarmouth
… a vintage-style take on the 1911 former theatre building which caught my eye.
currently closed as a bar/ music venue, somewhat sadly, but apparently set to reopen.
the seaside frontage of the town was also deserted on a grey late-March morning , when the original photo was taken. not without its charms though.
hopefully the sun is shining now, and The Empire gets a new lease of life soon!

‘Laura’, Jaume Plensa, 2013.
“With its softly modelled features, Laura is typical of the artist’s series of monumental female heads with their eyes closed in reverie or meditation. Viewed from the front, the heads are exaggeratedly narrow…. However, when viewed from the side, Laura appears fully modelled and naturalistic. This interplay of perceptions is a feature of Plensa’s work generally”.
