I was missing the pier from my recent holiday and from my childhood. I grew up near Southend on Sea and spent many happy hours by the sea with my windsurfer father. The lower part of the work represents the wooden boards of the pier. Piers are significant to me as Southend has the longest pleasure pier in the world. I played my first ever game of bowling on Southend Pier and scored 90! I remember the feeling of sadness when we saw the news that the pier had been damaged in the late 1990s. Much later – in 2016 – I walked the pier with my now husband. I had not long before broken my 5th metatarsal (classic footballer injury) falling down some broken steps in Toronto, Canada where I was living at the time. The pink and black ‘clouds’ represent abandoned inflatables we leave behind as tourists.
