I think it's the longest railway station name,
most people just say "Llangoch".

Yes, I quite agree, what has it got to do with bricks? I originally said

This image speaks out to me across the divide. The work seems to examine formal, material and institutional structures that both bind and divide us all. Whilst not dwelling too much on the existentialist elements (which are undoubtedly there) and without being derivative, it trancends the normal stereotypical norms and conceptualizes on a refreshingly new paradigm. More boll...s will follow... watch this empty space (man).

And I thought I was being quite helpful and constructive, no? Actually, I was thinking of that Woody Allen film 'Manhattan' where he keeps visiting galleries and he takes the p@@s of art critics and the language they use.

Getting back to basics (or bricks)I can say that although your image may appear at first glance to be devoid of any significance, that is not the case on further examination. One could question (as it's a very topical issue) the current housing/mortgage crisis and examine issues of affordability etc. Others may see in it issues about architectural styles of today, compared to the past. There are many more insights that can be gleaned from such a simple image, and for this I salute you as a true artist.

Better?

No. Not unless (as Brad Pitt) you know, and can bring along Kate Winslet, in which case it's a very definite YES!!!!!!

I'd be crap anyway.

And another thing... Hodman just wants to talk bricks and mortar, and you go sending out social invites to your cerebral soirees (although I am grateful). Let's get back on topic - what do you think about the bricks?
