Shine a light

​From October through December I have a modest exhibition celebrating all of Yorkshire’s lighthouses at the Scarborough Maritime Heritage Centre. This comprises a photo and sketch of each of them, 16 in all. These stretch from the very north eastern tip of the historic county of Yorkshire at the mouth of the Tees, down to Whitgift, near the confluence of the Ouse and the Trent. I began this project originally as part of my MA in Fine Art (now completed with, ermm, distinction) but in the end chose to do something else on that front. So having the chance to mount this small display in an appropriate setting is satisfying. My brief re-acquaintance with studentship has thankfully expired before the onslaught of a new Covid wave. I don’t envy today’s students at all. No parties! No vomiting! No intimate contact!
