Artwork description:

Maggi Hambling's 'Scallop', a striking but controversial piece of public art which (depending on one's point of view) either complements or detracts from the desolate beauty of Aldeburgh beach on the Suffolk coast. The large steel sculpture, referring to Benjamin Britten's operatic masterpiece 'Peter Grimes', was installed in 2003 in recognition of Britten's close ties with the town and role in founding the world-renowned Aldeburgh Festival. This close-up study of surfaces highlights the colours, textures and patina of the metal as it constantly changes and weathers with time.

Shot on 35mm film, May 2017. Signed and numbered on the front in the border, and coming with a certificate of authenticity.
