Look Sea

Celebratory Installation in Liverpool Parish Church (St Nick's), for 'Liverpool Capital of Culture 2008'. Inspired by man's relationship with the oceans and the hidden world of todays Port of Liverpool; its colourful characters and the ubiquitous shipping container. The installation comprised coastguard ropes / knots and a series of bespoke flags which took their shape from the aspect ratio of a container. Images photographed by the Artist were digitally printed onto fabric and stitched to the flags which were then suspended above the Maritime Chapel. Commissioned by Liverpool Parish Church and part-funded by Port of Liverpool owners Peel Ports and with very generous in-kind funding from many people from the maritime community.
