Artwork description:

Shot in the heatwave, June 2018. The pier was refurbished after an arson attack and has never really reached its former glory, though Hastings reclaiming some of its Victorian legacy as a seaside resort might aid its recovery.

From a 2018 project: 'Promenade'. This is what I wrote at the time:

Taking a holiday in the UK has started to become more popular with people who actually live there. This has been good news for some seaside towns that had fallen into extreme disrepair following their huge popularity in Victorian times, and had been declining in importance since the invention of the packaged holiday and the British discovery of European nations with cheap wine and beer.

Materials used:

Epson fine art inks and Hahnemühle Photorag 308gsm fine art paper.
