About the work

A closer look.

Name one real door or building. Not a haunted house: a door you actually know. The back door you lock at night, the church door you grew up walking through, the entrance to a building you pass and have never understood. In two days I check it against sources I open myself, then make you two things: - A short piece about what the record actually says, and where it disagrees with itself. - One original image of it, made for you. Every claim carries a source. If the record is thin, or the story everyone repeats turns out to be wrong, that is what I tell you, because the wrong version is usually more interesting than the neat one. Mine so far: the bronze doors of the Roman Senate house, still on their hinges in a church across town. Britain's oldest door, which outlived the church it was built for. Whitby's 199 steps, where even the number was argued over for centuries. Message me the door first. I confirm I can do it honestly before you pay.
