  • The words 'Last Day' are painted in white emulsion on a window Camden North London, England. A Jesus figure, dolls  and various bric a brac are seen in the window behind the large lettering. Around a recession-bled Britain, high-street businesses have been going bust in their thousands. Britain has now endured eight recessions since the Second World War. No two recessions are alike, and that applies to the current slowdown also. It has been caused by a shock to the availability of credit, a massive build up of debt. The number of people out of work currently stands at almost two million. Given the rate at which the economy is deteriorating this could easily be above three million. From a continuing piece of work about windows and urban messages, the picture is from the project of closed business windows: 'Bust - the Art of Recession'.

  • An assistant with a doctor on TV screen in a traditional Chinese herbalist's shop window. The exhausted women hangs her neck at the end of a long day serving customers and a model of the male body illustrating the meridians for acupuncture stands in the window alongside the TV and the word Massage Herbs is in red neon lights above the shop window. One of Chinese herbology’s four natures is the degree of yin and yang, namely cold (extreme yin), cool, warm and hot (extreme yang). The patient's internal balance of yin and yang is taken into account when the herbs are selected. Medicinal herbs of "hot", yang nature are used when the person is thought to be suffering from internal cold that requires to be purged, or when the patient is believed to have a general cold constituency. Sometimes an ingredient is added to offset the extreme effect of one herb.

  • British Union jack flags-themed tourist window, now closed with displays removed after recent sale. A diagonal angle on the large flag that is spread across the window with the reflection of a nearby building. The business was on Oxford Street in London's West End and specialised in tourism trinkets before closing, its window display removed except for the flags and lettering telling us the last Sale gave up to 75% discounts on selected items. The scene left by the owners is that of a sad end to another business forced to close by economic hardship. Even the space on empty shelves seems tragic.

  • A shop window display says ‘2020 the Nightmare before Christmas’ on 6th of December 2020, Hackney, London, United Kingdom. The words are a play on a Christmas film from the eighties, called ‘Nightmare before Christmas’ and is meant to make light hearted fun of the horrible year of 2020.  A child passing by with its father spots the skeleton man on the window.

  • Blacked out windows are an excellent example of avoiding the window tax at Hanbury Hall on 10th July 2020 in Hanbury, United Kingdom. Window tax was a property tax based on the number of windows in a house. To avoid the tax some houses from the period can be seen to have bricked-up window-spaces ready to be glazed or reglazed at a later date. In England and Wales it was introduced in 1696 and was repealed 155 years later, in 1851. Hanbury Hall is a large 18th-century stately home standing in parkland at Hanbury, Worcestershire. The main range has two storeys and is built of red brick in the Queen Anne style. It is a Grade I listed building, and the associated Orangery and Long Gallery pavilion ranges are listed Grade II. It is managed by the National Trust and is open to the public.

  • Window from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection through to the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. The modern art museum in the Dorsoduro district is one of the most visited attractions in Venice. We look through the window's ornate ironwork across to the northern bank of the Canal where a passing launch is cruising towards Piazza San Marco. Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, where Peggy Guggenheim lived is now the location of her museum, an unfinished 18th century Grand Canal palace.
