@KESBathCCF I love the way she has incorporated the air brick into the piece. It reminds me of Banksy's work in the Bristol Marina where he makes a feature of a burglar alarm in place of a pearl earring.

The route up the Civil Service was described today as a ‘velvet drainpipe’ with a “secret code” needed to progress. So we’ve created a cocktail as a code-breaker! 🍸😃Blog Post: https://t.co/vb4vfyGaQk Podcast Episode: https://t.co/ISRw0W5fy5
