'Seaside Series', 1989 (selected images)

Tourism within the southern coastal town of Hastings defines this work. The year 1066 is seen as the last stand of the ‘true Anglo Saxons’ before invasion by the conquering Normans of Northern France transformed the identity of the English. The seaside town of Hastings forms the location for this work. It examines the visual and text based language of tourism. A postcard-type series of self portraits taken within Hastings are accompanied by text from tourist literature. They explore ideas of invasion and repulsion of the ‘migrants/invader’ to this landscape of historical and cultural contestation. 3D tourist memorabilia placed within the frame act as the trophies and spoils of the of the returning traveler.

Hand tinted silver prints, text and 3D objects. 14 - 20x24
