You Don't Need Planning Permission to Build Castles in the Sky

Text work from 2011 on a wall up an alley behind the Central Library, near Bristol Cathedral. The lettering was originally arched like a mouth, with two air vents serving as eyes, so the whole wall read as a face; a later doorway cut into the wall broke that composition. What remains is the sentence itself, still in place and still readable.
