Sandown CCTV system by Isle of Wight Artist Veronica Grimm

In the seedy post victorian hey- day Sandown we have a very modern social experiment the CCTV camera, bright and futuristic. They look like sinewy alien attachments hugging the worn looking walls of our town.
Friday and Saturday nights the local youths stagger out of the local nightclub puking, fighting and fornicating.
Staggering up the main street each weekend at least one shop front window is put in.
Are they ever caught....No ... Why not! has all this high tech equipment been put in only for it to be manned during the day to catch car park offenders, surley not????

Pushed to destruction by Isle of Wight Artist Veronica Grimm


As the servitor opened the door to proceed down the stairs a naughty hand swept out and gave a gentle nudge into it's back sending it carreering down the flight of steps.
The sevitor found it's speech and motor functions were now impaired, unable to move it would be many hours before it's master would awake and demand a hearty breakfast.
The tormented servitor cried.
