Hi all,
Here it is!! The finished piece. I have been working on this piece off and on over the last couple of months, and am finally there with it, and am happy to say its complete!! It's colourful, busy and thought provoking, and loosely based around the pirate radio stations that were broadcast from the old wartime sea forts off the Kent coast. I took a boat trip out of Whitstable in May and was able to take some photos to use as source material, they really were astonishing to look at, and felt weird imagining them being occupied by wartime soldiers. They're pretty rusted now, and the walkways connecting them to one another have eroded, but just stunning!! Anyway, using those as the base to build the piece around, i brought in lots of vivid colour and hand drawn elements and just built up the layers as my thought process daydreamed and dallied about, until the final thoughts on text came through. Done!! i am really happy with it. This piece, titled "of moon and tide" will be on show and for sale at the upcoming show i am taking part in at The Sportsman, Seasalter next month. Details to follow v soon. ENJOY!!
