​Develop Your Creative Practice Funding

Arts Council England

 

My proposal sought to research how I could make my previous image transfer portraits on concrete,  resistant to the rigours of the weather and  was awarded the funding in 2021. The purpose was to bring photography into the landscape and onto existing exterior surfaces. I worked with the technical team at Epson UK. 

 

Along with my assistant, my portrait of a Lowestoft seaworker, Malcolm Wright was physically installed  in November 2021 at Ness Point (the most easterly coastal point in the UK) onto the surface of an existing concrete structure and A Lowestoft Man began gazing out to sea.  After five years of intense weather the signs of deterioration are few.

 

This gallery includes my DYCP experience from my taking the initial portrait of Malcom Wright a Lowestoft sea-worker, in March 2020 to the installation of the final piece in November 2021 and beyond.
