Ship Street Gardens, Brighton, C type print 434 x 541 mm

Ship Street Gardens, Brighton is a colour photograph on paper by Fergus Heron showing a view to the west over rooftops in the Lanes area of Brighton. The picture describes the appearance of relations between buildings and natural features in soft overcast light with a high degree of detail. A dialogue with George Callow's painting Chain Pier, Brighton (c.1831-1875) is offered by the picture with contrasts including direction and viewpoint, the presence of the i360 as a modern 'vertical pier' and the absence of the beach. Fergus Herons‘ picture forms a landscape that brings coastal, urban, new and old aspects of place into relation.
