Maker info: In recognition of the beauty of decay, the perfect imperfect…and the often uncelebrated value of a declining structure and its characterful mark in land or sea scape. I sought to find a means of giving a true and meaningful image of the burnt and decaying West Pier, that would be instantly recognisable. It is a way of celebrating its past story, but still showing the beauty of its gradual decay. The process i used means that each piece in this series of work is totally unique, and deliberately imperfect. I adapted a process called break-down printing to achieve the marks.
