FINDING THE RIGHT PIECE
Not sure about whether a piece of art will work in your chosen spot? Artwave West Contemporary Art Gallery at Morcombelake hold a huge stock of artworks in addition to whatever is being shown in their current exhibition.

CLOCKING ON
Far from purely functional, a wall clock can stand for itself as the centrepiece for an otherwise empty wall. Or get creative and build it into a carefully curated gallery wall of artwork and photos collected from your favourite places – after all, time waits for no man and every moment should be spent wisely.
