Simon Withers

Early days. Establishing a presence, a feel for materials. Experimentation and play. A brief intervention. The sound of water and fine dredged sand. Utilitarianism, kitchens by the sea. Concrete sea defences, SOS! 1952 and the East Coast floods. Bloated floating cows and Sherman tanks. Beach huts blown up. Seaside postcards and childhood memories. Year Of The Artist residency, 2000
