55.05'N, 01.45'W by arctoa on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

A continuation of the Everything Must Go series of images; a documentary that critically catalogues the state of the town of Whitley Bay, my home-town.

Within the image is contained one of the containing walls of the former Spanish City, a prominent Whitley Bay land-mark and one of many that've long been closed for alleged redevelopment.

The title is the approximate longitude-latitude location of the image, and is a theme that I might continue with future related works; along with prior pieces should they ever reach exhibition. Inspiration for the title came from the fact that it feels a little like satellite imagery, to me; the painted-over graffiti is river that is bridged by the drain-pipe highway and bordered by a dense weed-wood --

-- tenuous, but interesting nonetheless.
