Mark Hewitt Snowshill Manor, Charles Wade, Skateboarding and Magical Objects.

This episode is with the wonderful Mark Hewitt. We talk Skateboarding, the magical world of Snowshill Manor and its link with the Museum of Magic in Boscastle and Mark's forthcoming book on the artifacts of the Snowshill Manor and the eccentric life of Charles Wade.

We explore the links between music and skateboarding which I thought was fascinating and also the deep dive into how objects change their nature from items of curiosity to objects of magic.

Mark Fitzpatrick Unreal City

We talk Unreal City and carry the burden of art. We discuss some of the twists of the narrative and how this of occurs in the real world. How the Parisienne venue really stepped up to the mark.

Such a great read with layer upon layer of symbolism in this gothic edged story with some great modernist tricks in the telling.

It's a brilliant conversation as always with Mark and for further details of his work follow this link
