by David Banning (Author)
Weaving together fragments of artists' stories across time and place, David Banning embarks on a Sebaldian exploration of the enduring legacy of harbours and the sea. In a post-truth world, rising water levels are mapped into micro-conflict zones of resistance, with borders, loopholes and quotas absorbed into the bed of the English Channel. While elements of the current political hostility toward migration are underlined, a connection is established between the intertidal mudflats of Morecambe Bay and the chalky downlands surrounding Newhaven Harbour. Mixing, biography, fiction and history, a poetic odyssey probes the work of English Neo Romantic artist Eric Ravilious, and uncovers the 'unknowing strangeness' of Harold Mockford, a fine lyrical artist based in East Sussex.
Featuring an Introduction by Philip Hoare, award winning author of Leviathan and Albert and the Whale along with a stunning collection of drawings by Glasgow based artist Iain Sharpe.
