Being somewhat smitten by Bridlington’s old fishing cobble ‘The Three Brothers’—I felt a need to explore what it was exactly that was attracting me to the boat. Through this study, I was struck by the unique shape of the hull and how the planks gently changed direction, creating separate curves; and it was that interest that led me to discover the beautiful lines and gentle curves of the planks. And so, I meditated on the lines to see where they took me.
Further down the line (excuse the pun), I began to experiment with overlapping the plank shapes and creating blocks, and this is where the plans really began to move forward. A hint of marine-life without the obvious imagery, and, by combining the abstracted text collected from around the town’s waterfront I had the foundations for the ‘Headworks’ design.
