This installation muses upon its proximity to the Winter Gardens during the current change of season, when the Illuminations are lit, a chill meets the air and people gather in the halls and ballrooms, while nostalgia for summer creeps in. The artist draws on conversations and observations from her years of being out and about in various Blackpool social scenes. In this part of town people gather or pass through by day and after dark. Shoppers, workers, clubbers, weekenders, sub cultural convention visitors, strollers or speed walkers: en route to a cash machine, running through the fountains, leaving work, walking home.
The text in this display was extracted from books written, printed and published by the artist. This work is distributed and exhibited internationally in bookshops, galleries and museums.
