December 4 2005:
Still Remembered

Went walkabout in Dorking today and spotted this. It appears that Denis Harvey was a sculptor, who also was very knowledgeable about the gypsy way of life.

This obituary to him was pasted outside an artist’s studio in the town – 13 years after his passing.

I love the colour of the wood in this. It's touching that the obituary is still there - restores my faith in human nature.

Great find. I love the textures and the aging newspaper article as it weathers away on the wall.
Guest 05-Dec-2005 12:25
He's making a last stand, hanging onto his own memory as it were, and I'm amazed that after 13 years the print is still visible. This says so much about us, thanks for posting. ~V~
