£442.5

A seaside scene somewhere, constructed from various sources so its not a real place.
I am drawn to depictions of leisure as beach or pool is a place where people are partly naked yet unaware and in a 'natural' setting, so in some way this subject matter is timeless. I am drawn on the other hand to a nostalgic pleasure and it is difficult for me to separate the two, nostalgia from the depiction of pleasure if not impossible. This intersection is what I find interesting.
