	eca-lib stair 01 1024 x 768 119K	The sign over the door reads Environmental Studies Library.
	eca-lightswitches01 1280 x 552 184K	All the remaining pictures are by Jane from Evolution House (not Intelligent Design House) and depict art (as you'd expect in an Art College Library) though not in the style you might expect. Three pictures of artistic light switches...
	eca-lightswitches02 1280 x 655 204K	A close-up of the light switches near the left of the row.
	eca-lightswitches03 1280 x 673 224K	Three of the light switches further along.
	Sculpture with BluTak 1280 x 960 264K	Working in an Art College Library must be inspirational. Here, one of the workers has felt inspired to create this unique sculpture from BluTak.
	Decorated Eggs 1170 x 1024 214K	The artistic inspiration extends to decorated eggs at Easter. Again, this is art by the staff, not the students. Done in their own time, I hasten to add.
	No Coffee Yet 1280 x 960 321K	The ambient temperature seems ok at the moment, but there's a warning that coffee deficiency could lead to unpleasantness, specifically murder.
	2006_05050021 1280 x 960 226K	A chance encounter through a window of accidental art. Sometimes accidental art may be preferred to conceptual art or art with pretensions of some grand notion.
	Evolution House 04 1152 x 864 140K	Looking down to the corner of West Port and Lady Lawson Street. Lady Lawson Street was for many years the home of Lawson's timber merchant and DIY store. Just out of sight to the left is home to lap-dancing bars.
	Evolution House 07 cutout 1152 x 861 165K	Photographed by Jane Henniker but it was I who added the cubist dimension to the floor. There weren't actually any cubic holes.
	Evolution House 10 1152 x 852 244K	A mixture of contrasting architecture.
	Art College Library Café 1280 x 850 230K	Not for exclusive use of library patrons, the general public can come in for a snack or a coffee. There is a view out to Lady Lawson Street.
	Art - or just stolen doormats? 1191 x 1024 221KB	Our doormat was feloniously appropriated along with these other ones from Edinburgh stairs. If your doormat went walkabout, then blame Kevin Harman who has formed this alleged work of art at Edinburgh Art College. [Kevin Harman - Artist statement. My work deals with the raw strength of objects. The objects I use seem to be extensions of power, instruments that cause ..] Kevin's website currently states: The site will be active again on the 18th of December after the court date.
