After many walks around her local area in Nottingham during the Covid-19 pandemic, Evie Cobbin became engrossed in everything about street signs — the look, placement, shape, age, origin, meaning and use. To better understand them, she documented them in the medium of photographs.

What started as intrigue for a somewhat mundane object, quickly grew into a fanatic-like quest to categorise and archive these signs. She has created mind-map tree diagrams and an extensive navigable database of them, as well as a beautiful printed booklet.
