Inspired by Dunbar’s, Robert Wilson (1803-1882), invention of the first practical screw propeller, as commemorated in 2003 by the 4 ton propeller sculpture at the Victoria Harbour, the photo-montage postcard images comprise of two lensless photographic techniques. Photograms of his screw propeller proposal text to the Royal Society of Arts, dated 1860, and collected mussel and oyster shells from the Dunbar shore – positioned to reflect the shape of the screw propeller – are combined with recent pinhole negatives of the current propellers found in craft by the harbour.
Bright nets on the quayside provide textural inspiration for photograms.

Torness Nuclear Power Station is pretty controversial but the starkly modernist building in the beautifully lined fields of East Lothian I find really compelling to look at. I aways wait for it to come up when on the train.
