Here's a few pics of a recent piece. The design was inspired by rough, weathered boards and coastal images of boats in the harbour from my time in Pittenweem. I came across some photos I had taken when I was working at the Arts Festval last year and felt it was time to use them...
On the shores by St Monans and Pittenweem there are 2 old outdoor swimming pools that are filled as the tide comes in. Neither are now maintained by the local council as they had been in the past. I think I may have become a bit obsessed with them, made even more interesting by their crumbling structures, part way between man and the sea. A place for people, taken back by nature.
Everything has been really busy lately so I thought it was time to take a wee break and head to the coast...but where to go? Why Pittenweem of course!
I spent 10 days working at the Pittenweem Arts Festival which hosted a fantastic mix of both resident and invited artists.
My favourite piece of the festival. Sculpture by Kaneyuki Shimoosako, installed on the old harbour wall.
