Pair of National Trust photomontage posters from 1976 protesting a proposed motorway through the middle of Petworth Park. In this case the protest was successful and the plan was abandoned.
100,000 Drops of Blood, Gentleman's installation in Parliament Square from 2006, each drop representing someone – Iraqi, American or British – who had already died in Iraq because of the invasion.
