They are not.” A year on from his famous refusal, the Palmer Gallery in London is hosting an exhibition of his and ot...

Photographer Ryan Stalker found the ball washed up on the Isle of Portland, Dorset, off England’s south coast.

But just below the surface, a colony of goose barnacles clings to its underside - a poignant reminder of the impact of human-caused pollution on the ocean’s delicate ecosys...
