Installation art created for the Southend-on-Sea venue ‘East Coast Social’. The client wanted something that represented ‘eccentric eclectic’ with a good spoonful of vintage thrown in. What a brief!
Another consideration was that the image needed to somehow incorporate the two bowler hat light fittings already installed. Many ideas were passed back and forth (including, bizarrely, a line up of cows?) before the final concept was settled on. I suggested a vintage beach scene with a line-up of lovely ‘kiss-me-quick’ style ladies. I still think they missed a trick by not adding that seaside classic phrase to a band placed over the bowler hats, but you can’t have everything!
